Hello,
I have a model called Pdffile, in the model I have a choice field which needs to get translations in ckb and ar by using the rosetta I did the translations and in django admin panel when I change the language I get the equivalent translations but I do not know how to get those traslated valued in a loop in the rendered html templates:
I am using django 4.2.14
models.py
```auto
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
class Pdffile(models.Model):
filename = models.CharField(max_length=100)
TYPE_CHOICES = (
('manual', _('Manual')),
('catalogue', _('Catalogue')),
('application_details', _('Application Details')),
)
pdf_type = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=TYPE_CHOICES)
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('draft', 'Draft'),
('published', 'Published'),
)
status = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='draft')
```
Here I needed each value not to be repeated so I did as below
views.py
```auto
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import Pdffile
from django.utils.translation import gettext
def DocList(request):
types = list(Pdffile.objects.all().values_list('pdf_type', flat=True))
final_list = []
for c in types:
if c not in final_list:
final_list.append(c)
translated_pdf_types = [gettext("pdf_type:%s" % pdf_type) for pdf_type in final_list]
context = {'translated_pdf_types': translated_pdf_types, }
return render(request, 'library/pdffile/library_list.html', context)
```
Here in the html I need to loop over translated\_pdf\_types and get the translated strings to be shown in the user selected languag
library\_list.html
```auto
{% for translated_pdf_type in translated_pdf_types %}
{{ translated_pdf_type }}
{% endfor %}
```
How can i achieve that is my question.
Thanks.

I’m not sure I get exactly what you are trying to do, but as I understand it, I would replace the first 6 lines of your DocList function by this:
```auto
types = list(Pdffile.objects.all().values_list('pdf_type', flat=True).distinct())
types_dict = dict(Pdffile.TYPE_CHOICES)
translated_pdf_types = [types_dict[val] for val in types]
```
Hope this helps.

Hi @claudep,
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for as a solution, with the code that you provided when a user visits the rendered library\_list.html and changes the language then in the below code I get the right corresponding translations:
```auto
{% for translated_pdf_type in translated_pdf_types %}
{{ translated_pdf_type }}
{% endfor %}
```
I was wondering that How can I get the first {{ translated\_pdf\_type }} in the li tag in english (the default language) in the rendered library\_list.html and the 2nd one is fine which is translated now.
I am using django-modeltranslation and django-rosetta.
or, is there any way so that I can get the {{ pdf.pdf\_type }} in a loop based on the visitor’s selected language in the rendered library\_list.html page, in the below code I can get the variable in english but what if I need their translations depending on the selected language by the page visitor? like:
```auto
{% for pdf in pdffiles %}
{{ pdf.pdf_type }}
{% endfor %}
```
Thank you.
