{{{

copy test.js to template directory
# run make_messages
# python /opt/django-0.97_pre7403/django/bin/make-messages.py -a -d djangojs

everything is fine


Problem occures when you have multiple JS file to translate:

{{{
copy test2.js to template directory
# run make_messages
# python /opt/django-0.97_pre7403/django/bin/make-messages.py -a -d djangojs
processing language fr
errors happened while running xgettext on test2.js
pl:2: warning: The following msgid contains non-ASCII characters.
               This will cause problems to translators who use a character encoding
               different from yours. Consider using a pure ASCII msgid instead.
               déjeuner
