Comment:
I cannot recreate this problem. Using this level of gettext
retrieved/"installed" as per the docs:

`makemessages` works fine for my test project:
{{{
C:\Users\kmtracey\software\web\playground>manage.py makemessages --locale
de
processing language de
}}}
and produces output:
{{{
C:\Users\kmtracey\software\web\playground>dir
locale\de\LC_MESSAGES\django.po
Volume in drive C is Windows7_OS
Volume Serial Number is EEFA-02D9
Directory of

}}}
(there's only one translatable string in this project).
This is a Windows 7 box. Near as I can tell the command is producing
pathnames relative to the current directory, and that is working fine.
While it may work also to make paths absolute, I don't understand why that
would be necessary. Can you explain anything about your environment and
how it differs from what I have tried successfully that might explain why
the current code doesn't work in your case?
