Comment (by Pierre):
As I understand it, LOCALE_PATHS is only used to find the .mo files but
not to tell were are going the .po files, which go in the locale folder of
the app if it exists, or in the locale folder of the project if it exists.
On [this
page](https://docs.djangoproject.com/fr/4.2/topics/i18n/translation/) it
is written
"The script runs over your project source tree or your application source
tree and pulls out all strings marked for translation (see How Django
discovers translations and be sure LOCALE_PATHS is configured correctly)"
Actually at this stage (creation of the .po files), the LOCALE_PATHS
didn't work for me, but maybe it is related to my OS (windows 10).
It is also written:
"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."
If I have a locale folder in my project folder, the .po files can go
there, even without LOCALE_PATHS defined.
