not
correct

------------------------------------------------+------------------------
The translations only work when the locale involving region code is
generated as this:
`zh_CN` for Simplified Chinese
Notice here that the region code should be in capital letters for the
`django.po` file in the directory to correctly work.
If we do `makemessages` as
`python manage.py makemessages -l zh_cn`
OR
`python manage.py makemessages -l zh-cn`
It wouldn't work and no error is produced even after running
compilemessages, which can leave people baffled for a while.
I would suggest adding a warning/error messages if the locale is used
incorrectly. That would certainly be a great help.
I can make a patch for this as well.
