17379	Don't deactivate translations by default in management commands	Chris Chambers	Ramiro Morales	"I see the rationale in `django.management.core.base`, but this is unexpected behaviour for `./manage.py shell`, for example - particularly if you're running with a `LANGUAGE_CODE` like 'en-gb' as there's no visual feedback/documentation to illustrate that l10n/i18n are off. Granted, this won't make affect many people, but it can cause all kinds of debugging woes.

I'd like to suggest the simple fix of either:

1. forcing `translation.activate(settings.LANGUAGE_CODE)` during the `./manage.py shell` command.
2. Adding some visual feedback/documentation if this turns out to be impractical for whatever reason.
