Well after reading more and more about locale I realize that it's kind
of very problematic to set the locale and encoding the right way while
not breaking something else.
So I decided to use a dirty hack to get the expected result. I wrote a
very simple function inside my view that would turn a date object into
a string with the date just as I wanted, just in case someone might
find it useful:
{{def str_date(date):
w=dict([(0,'Lunes'),(1,'Martes'),(2,'Miércoles'),(3,'Jueves'),
(4,'Viernes'),(5,'Sábado'),(6,'Domingo')])
m=dict([(1,'Enero'),(2,'Febrero'),(3,'Marzo'),(4,'Abril'),(5,'Mayo'),
(6,'Junio'),
(7,'Julio'),(8,'Agosto'),(9,'Septiembre'),(10,'Octubre'),
(11,'Noviembre'),(12,'Diciembre')])
return w[date.weekday()]+" "+str(date.day)+" de "+m[date.month]+" "+str
(date.year)}}
And I placed this code inside my layout.html file so it can be used
from any page (that extends the layout).
About the question you made, I read something about django that
mentions they have their own locale middleware, and it allows to set
locale on a per user basis
(django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware).
Thankyou for all the help.
