24247	makemessages command should use case insensitivity when checking for paths in LOCALE_PATHS	Teri	Teri	"The makemessages command should use case insensitivity when checking for paths in LOCALE_PATHS

For example, I set LOCALE_PATHS to the path ‘locale’

The .po files will only be generated if the locale folder is named with the same lowercase spelling of ‘locale’.

If the locale folder has the name “LOCALE”, Django will not find the folder ‘locale’, and makemessages will throw out this 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.

Rationale:  The problem I came across was that certain translations were not showing in Rosetta on the beta server (web server), but were showing on the development server (Mac OS System).  After much investigation, it was because the web server was case sensitive, thus Rosetta was not able to recognize the LOCALE_PATH and bring in the proper translations.
