The documentation at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/i18n/translation/ says
{{{
When you run makemessages from the root directory of your project, the
extracted strings will be automatically distributed to the proper message
files. That is, a string extracted from a file of an app containing a
locale directory will go in a message file under that directory. A string
extracted from a file of an app without any locale directory will either
go in a message file under the directory listed first in LOCALE_PATHS or
will generate an error if LOCALE_PATHS is empty.
}}}
And a bit further it says :
{{{
This tool runs over all available .po files and creates .mo files, which
are binary files optimized for use by gettext. In the same directory from
which you ran django-admin makemessages, run django-admin compilemessages
like this:
}}}
This is misleading since django-admin compilemessages has to be ran in
every application's directory.
