When running `django-admin.py makemessages` (with the appropriate
arguments), it doesn't generate po files for Javascript files which use
`gettext`. As far as I can tell, it's because in
`core/management/commands/makemessages.py` at line 304, there's `file_list
= self.find_files(".")`, which means it only looks in the current
directory (and subdirs), meaning it won't ever look in either
`STATIC_ROOT` or `STATICFILES_DIRS` (still a bit fuzzy which one is
which).
Unless there's an obvious thing I'm missing here, I'd treat this as either
one of the following:
- a bug, because it should look in JS files too
- a feature request to add a --lookup_path argument
The current workaround is to run manage.py from whatever folder you want
it to look in.
