Have you read: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/
particularly:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/#in-template-code
?
You don't want to be translating an entire template, you want to translate
individual bits within the template. Consider that in general a template
will be filled with html tags, template constructs (such as the {{ }} you
have in yours), and such that it makes no sense to translate.
