[ckan-dev] RE : CKAN API and multilingual tags

[David Raznick]

Hello

I have made a quick example of an extension that adds for_view into the
context when calling an action api function.

https://gist.github.com/9f19fcda5871321335ec

It is completely untested but should be correct (may have typos).  It will
only work on the api call to api/action/vocabulary_show.

Thanks

David
