25137	"IOError ""No translation file found"" when implementing new Language"	ivoarm	nobody	"I implemented a new Language called 'ptfm' since Django version 1.5. I never had any problems using versions 1.5 and 1.7, and everything worked just fine.

The way I have this implemented is by adding/configured in settings the following:

{{{
EXTRA_LANG_INFO = {
    'ptfm': {
        'bidi': False,
        'code': 'ptfm',
        'name': 'Portuguese',
        'name_local': u'Português',
    },
}

LANGUAGES = (
    ('ptfm', gettext('Portuguese FM')),
)

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'ptfm'

import django.conf.locale

LANG_INFO = dict(django.conf.locale.LANG_INFO.items() + EXTRA_LANG_INFO.items())
django.conf.locale.LANG_INFO = LANG_INFO
}}}

Then I have the correct folder in my project for locale/ptfm/LC_MESSAGES/django.(mo and po).

But now I've updated to Django 1.8, and running the server an IOError is thrown:

{{{
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\__init__.py"", line 84, in ugettext
    return _trans.ugettext(message)
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\trans_real.py"", line 327, in ugettext
    return do_translate(message, 'ugettext')
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\trans_real.py"", line 304, in do_translate
    _default = _default or translation(settings.LANGUAGE_CODE)
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\trans_real.py"", line 206, in translation
    _translations[language] = DjangoTranslation(language)
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\trans_real.py"", line 115, in __init__
    self._init_translation_catalog()
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\trans_real.py"", line 153, in _init_translation_catalog
    translation = self._new_gnu_trans(localedir, use_null_fallback)
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\trans_real.py"", line 136, in _new_gnu_trans
    fallback=use_null_fallback)
  File ""C:\Python27\lib\gettext.py"", line 472, in translation
    raise IOError(ENOENT, 'No translation file found for domain', domain)
IOError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: u'django'
}}}

I think maybe its related with the ""Refactored DjangoTranslation class"" made here:
https://github.com/django/django/commit/a5f6cbce07b5f3ab48d931e3fd1883c757fb9b45

In this trans_real.py, on function:
{{{
def _init_translation_catalog(self):
        """"""Creates a base catalog using global django translations.""""""
        settingsfile = upath(sys.modules[settings.__module__].__file__)
        localedir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(settingsfile), 'locale')
}}}

When trying to run server, this '''localedir''' is set to:
{{{ u'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\django\\conf\\locale'}}}
and then throws the error on gettext.py in translation, because tries to find the MO file for language '''ptfm''' inside this '''localedir''' and doesn't exist.

I've also tried to append in settings the correct and full location for LOCALE_PATHS but the same error is thrown.
