it may have solved your problem. But actually nowadays django looks into
settings.LOCALE_PATHS - could you check whether the svn revision number
you are using is less than 17860 or greater.

The good news is the problem is solved. A friendly chap in stackoverflow 
actually bothered to look into it.

The problem is as simple as the translation files couldn't be found.  For 
some odd reason the important information about how Django locates them is 
at the very last section of the documentation. It is really easy to miss.

All you have to do is to move the locale directory with the translation 
files into your Application directory. Thats it !!!

If you need to recreate the translation files you need top use the 
terminal, browse to the Application directory and run your command 
'django-admin.py makemessages -l de' from there.  

You can't do this from Aptana Studio 3.0, since it requires you to run any 
Django command from the root rather than from application directory.  Hence 
you need to do it in the terminal.

Just download my test app and try what I just said here, as I intend to 
remove the test project within the next few days.

Houman

could you try with revision 17860 and see if it works. I have the same
problem, and am stuck with 17860 - unfortunately I have been unable to
replicate the problem with a simple example.

Guys,


I have created a new simple test project to demonstrate the problem.  

It is a very simple project and you can switch between German & English at 
main page.  You see the selected Language code actually changes, which is a 
good sign but the translation simply doesn't happen. I wonder if this is a 
bug that needs reported. Your cooperation is highly appreciated.

Please download from here:
http://www.chasebot.com/TestProject.zip

Please let me know if you can reproduce it.

Many Thanks,
Houman

Re: Internationalization in Django 1.4 doesn't seem to work

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for your help.

I have already lazy translation implemented for the forms like this:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class FriendInviteForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(label=_("Friend's Name"))
email = forms.EmailField(label= _("Friend's Email"))


Surely at least the form should then change the words according to the
drop down settings.  But still no luck.  Its really hard to get this
working. Do you have any simple working example for me by any chance?
So I could compare line by line? :)

Besides changing the language per request as you've been indicated in
SO you might want to look at lazy translations:
