Comment (by anonymous):
It has been working. Not because it was a good choice, but because nobody
really has had any choice but to put their PO files in LC_MESSAGES.
They've prioritised a working Django app over fixing this brokenness. I
think everyone who first localises a Django app has to work through this
confusion, hard to count those lost cycles but they exist.
So 'working' in this sense isn't a good argument, 'work around' is
probably a better reason as to why it has been working.
My personal suggestion would be '$project/po/$lang' for the location of
the PO files. But I think the reporter is asking for it to be
configurable thus:
makemessage --po-location=myapp/po
and
compilemessages --po-location=myapp/po
The --mo-location could also be configurable making it easier for Django
apps that are being distributed being placed in the correct place on the
server.
