Makemessages with Templates - Not Working

[Katrina]

I am currently translating a project, and many of the strings needing
translation are located in my templates. Unfortunately, the .po files
are not being created when I run makemessages, which I am doing from
my project home using:

./manage.py makemessages -l es -e html,shtml

Makemessages is working for other parts of my project, just not the
templates.

My templates directory is located outside of my project home, but I
have created a locale folder within templates and added it to my
LOCALE_PATHS setting.

I have prepared the templates for translation using the {% load i18n
%} and {% blocktrans %} tags.

What else do I need to do for makemessages to work with my templates?

Thanks,
Katrina

Hi,

Something similar is happening to me. I tried to run django-admin.py
makemessages -l es and then compilemessages from the root of my
templates folder (which is outside the project tree) and it creates
the file Templates/conf/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po / django.mo
correctly.

My problem is that I edit django.po to complete the translation and
then issue compilemessages again. Even it works, the translation is
not showing up on the application.

Am I missing something?

If I issue the commands from the root of my project, django.po is not
created anywhere.

Thanks,

nsbk
