Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

The admin javascript is using django.views.i18n for translation. I have added some custom javascript to the admin, which needs i18n, too. It turned out that it is not that easy to add your own translated texts to the admin, without adding another view function to each ModelAdmin that generates i18n javascript. You can subclass the AdminSite and override the i18n_javascript method, but that is not much convenient and you can not have translations per app or per model. I have written a patch that moves the i18n_javascript method from AdminSite to ModelAdmin. In addition it adds the app of the ModelAdmin to the list of translation packages. So you can add your own javascript translations, by just adding them to the app directory.

I'm going to accept this as a problem description, but not as a proposed fix. The problem clearly exists, but moving i18n into a per-model definition seems like the wrong approach to me. This would result in a proliferation of little jsi18n scripts, when what you really want is one good script that is composed of all the little extensions. There's no reason these extensions can't be defined on a per-model basis, but I don't see why they need to be served on a per-model basis.

I don't see this going anywhere. Probably add your custom jsi18n view in a custom base_site.html admin template.
