Update: Kinda resolved, see my comment.
1. Set LANGUAGE_CODE and LANGUAGES in settings.py
2. You are able to makemessages and compilemessages
3. Django is not picking up the translated messages
4. Set the LOCALE_PATHS variable in the settings.py
5. django now picks the messages
Fragment of settings.py
{{{
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
LANGUAGES =[ ('en', _('English')), ('cs', _('Czech')) ]
LOCALE_PATHS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'),
)
}}}
If this is intended, I think that makemessages/compile messages should
fail as well. If not, the discovery should work as well.

Comment:
As @felix pointed on irc.freenode.org #django-dev, the behaviour is
documented.
But I still think this is kinda bug, or at least inconsistent, because,
where is the point to be able to gather messages/compile them, but they
stay unusable in the system, because the var is not set.
I think, that ./managepy compilemessages should throw a warning at least.
