How to localize a multi site django app based on the domain?

I have one Django project, one website, but each translation is represented by a domains, drenglish.com for english, drspanish.com for spanish and drportuguese.com for portuguese.

There is only one admin, one database

i see with most host for django (2.0 and python 3.7) y your need to host throught ssh linux(putty).

but how can i make the 3 domains work at the same time ?

sorry for the noob question its my first time putting a website up

if any help that is the middleware i use to detect the domain and offer the right language

class SetLanguageToDomain:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response
        # One-time configuration and initialization.

    def __call__(self, request):
        current_site = get_current_site(request).domain
        if current_site == 'www.drportuguese.com':
            user_language = 'pt_BR'
        elif current_site == 'www.drspanish.com':
            user_language = 'es_ES'
        else:
            user_language = 'en'
        translation.activate(user_language)
        request.session[translation.LANGUAGE_SESSION_KEY] = user_language

        response = self.get_response(request)

        return response

Django uses this middleware django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware to understand which language use to render your response. If you check the code, there is a call to a function in the module translation: get_language_from_path.

This is the source code of the function

language_code_prefix_re = re.compile(r'^/(\w+([@-]\w+)?)(/|$)')

def get_language_from_path(path, strict=False):
    """
    Return the language code if there's a valid language code found in `path`.
    If `strict` is False (the default), look for a country-specific variant
    when neither the language code nor its generic variant is found.
    """
    regex_match = language_code_prefix_re.match(path)
    if not regex_match:
        return None
    lang_code = regex_match.group(1)
    try:
        return get_supported_language_variant(lang_code, strict=strict)
    except LookupError:
        return None

To find the match, django uses the LANGUAGES setting of your project to find something like it-IT, you can check the code of the LocalMiddleWare and the get_language_from_path to change the middleware to your needs.

You would need to have the three different domains point to the same server in your DNS (docs for AWS and Heroku). Make sure all 3 are in your ALLOWED_HOSTS in your settings and then in your views you can access the host through the meta on the request:

request.META['HTTP_HOST']

Also possibly relevant for your project is request.META['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']
