I've found some other people with the same issue<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18192>. Looking at the source<https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py#L135>, the issue is directly related to IOError, so your assumption sounds correct, django can not access nor read the files. I don't believe this is a django specific issue but server config issue.
I hope this helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
