The documentation at
{{{
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#message-
files
}}}
states that
{{{
django-admin.py makemessages
}}}
should be run from "the root directory of your Django project" or "the
root directory of your Django app".
As the Django 1.4 directory structure creates mysite/ and mysite/mysite/,
it is unclear, what the project's root directory is. Running django-admin
makemessages/compilemessages within mysite/ makes the the Django
translation system ignore my translation file. Running the commands in
mysite/mysite/ instead does work as expected.
It should be explicitly stated in the tutorial, that mysite/mysite/ is the
project's root directory.
