--------------------------------------+--------------------
I am trying to add translations for a new language (that Django doesn't
support) to my project. Let's say it has the language code `xxx` for
example.
I make the .po file with
{{{
./manage.py makemessages -l xxx
}}}
Then I translate the po file and compile it. When I set `LANGUAGE_CODE =
'xxx'` and run runserver, Django fails with:
{{{

It seems that this errors happens whenever you try to use a language that
doesn't have a django.po shipped with django (in `django/conf/locale/`).
Shouldn't I be able to provide the translations just in my project?
