1. Add the base_site file inside templates/admin/base_site.html.
2. Custom language middleware, in your file middleware.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.utils import translation
from django.utils.deprecation import MiddlewareMixin
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
class LanguageMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):
def process_request(self, request):
"""
function to activate the translation
"""
if 'lang' in request.GET:
language = request.GET.get('lang', 'id')
if language in dict(settings.LANGUAGES).keys():
request.session['_language'] = language
language = request.session.get('_language', 'id')
translation.activate(language)
3. And then in your settings.py
