See the live demo app on Heroku.

In order to be able to quickly evaluate the django-i18next, a demo app (with a quick installer) has been created (works on Ubuntu/Debian, may work on other Linux systems as well, although not guaranteed). Follow the instructions below for having the demo running within a minute.

Grab the latest `django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh`:

wget https://raw.github.com/barseghyanartur/django-i18next/stable/examples/django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh

Assign execute rights to the installer and run the `django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh`:

chmod +x django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh
./django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh

Open your browser and test the app.

• URL: http://127.0.0.1:8001/nl/

If quick installer doesn't work for you, see the manual steps on running the example project.

By default debugging is turned off. Set the I18NEXT_DEBUG to True in the settings.py of your project in order to do so.
