and
templates

----------------------------------+----------------------------
The order of applications in INSTALLED_APPS matters for
priority/overriding of at least:
* templates:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader
* translations:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-
discovers-translations
Mailing list discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-
developers/r37clRaXgf4
My proposal is to add a box in
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#installed-apps saying
something like:
The order of INSTALLED_APPS is significant! Translations and Templates
in Django can be overridden; the first app found will have priority.
Please also see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader
Templates Documentation] and
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/i18n/translation/#how-
django-discovers-translations Translations Documentation]
An alternative method is to use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-
apptemplates/ that allows to override (and inherit) the template of a
specific app.
