It only generates .po file in the locale folder that is located in project root.

If a locale folder exists in project root, a deprecation warning will appear:


{{{
utils/translation/__init__.py:64: DeprecationWarning: Translations in the project directory aren't supported anymore. Use the LOCALE_PATHS setting instead.
}}}


If locale folder is removed from project root, makemessage will throw out command error:


{{{
Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project or app tree. If you did indeed run it from the SVN checkout or your project or application, maybe you are just missing the conf/locale (in the django tree) or locale (for project and application) directory? It is not created automatically, you have to create it by hand if you want to enable i18n for your project or application.
