Description
The order of applications in INSTALLED_APPS matters for priority/overriding of at least:
- templates: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader
- translations: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-discovers-translations
Mailing list discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/r37clRaXgf4
My proposal is to add a box in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#installed-apps saying something like:
The order of INSTALLED_APPS is significant! Translations and Templates in Django can be overridden; the first app found will have priority. Please also see Templates Documentation and Translations Documentation
An alternative method is to use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-apptemplates/ that allows to override (and inherit) the template of a specific app.
