Description (last modified by Ondřej Kolín)

  1. Set LANGUAGE_CODE and LANGUAGES in settings.py
  2. You are able to makemessages and compilemessages
  3. Django is not picking up the translated messages
  4. Set the LOCALE_PATHS variable in the settings.py
  5. django now picks the messages

Fragment of settings.py

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
LANGUAGES =[ ('en', _('English')), ('cs', _('Czech')) ]
LOCALE_PATHS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'),
)

If this is intended, I think that makemessages/compile messages should fail as well. If not, the discovery should work as well.
