Replying on myself :-)
First of all, removing the not translated msgstr/msgid from the .po
file is the solution to the fallback problem (as mentioned earlier).
I think this is should be solved, but this is more a python gettext problem.
Now to make the fallback actually work i had to do what all pylons
documention (including the new pylonsbook) explicitly told me not to:
call set_lang() before calling add_fallback()
See this example
In [1]: from pylons.i18n.translation import set_lang, add_fallback, get_lang
In [2]: from pylons.i18n.translation import _ as i
# The way all the documentation tells me
In [3]: get_lang()
In [4]: add_fallback('de')
In [5]: set_lang('ru')
In [6]: i('photo')
Out[6]: u'photo' # Should have returned 'foto'
# The way it seems to work fine:
In [7]: get_lang()
Out[7]: ['ru']
In [9]: set_lang(None)
In [9]: get_lang()
In [10]: set_lang('ru')
In [11]: add_fallback('de')
In [12]: i('photo')
Out[12]: u'foto'
