As the documentation didn't make it clear that the language names should be
unicode, I just used the translated name ("Português") in a plain string, I
thought it would be OK since settings.py has the encoding declared at the
top of the file.
As for the error, it happened inside django-cms. There's a code that is
called for building a list of the languages enabled and their names:
# cms/utils/i18n.py
19 def get_languages(site_id=None):
20 site_id = get_site(site_id)
21 result = get_cms_setting('LANGUAGES').get(site_id)
22 if not result:
23 result = []
24 defaults = get_cms_setting('LANGUAGES').get('default', {})
25 for code, name in settings.LANGUAGES:
26 lang = {'code': code, 'name': _(name)}
27 lang.update(defaults)
28 result.append(lang)
29 get_cms_setting('LANGUAGES')[site_id] = result
30 return result
In the code above it is trying to translate the language name and it is
resulting in an error since the name isn't an unicode string. I understand
that this is happening in django-cms, but I still think it is relevant to
document either that the name should be a unicode string or at least the
english name of the language.
