Internationalization
- How Django discovers translations
- Create or update message files:
- manage.py makemessages -l de
- Compile:
- manage.py compilemessages -v 2 -l de
- Compile all:
- bash compilemessages.sh
If you have problems with translating strings:
- read How Django discovers translation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-discovers-translations
- Define in your settings.py to make sure that strings are first read from the directory defined by you:
- BASEPATH = realpath(join(dirname(_file), '..'))
- LOCALE_PATHS = (
- join(BASE_PATH, 'locale'),
- )
