8124	Proposal: load translations from settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS	Joost Cassee	nobody	"Template paths from {{{settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS}}} are not always (often not?) located within the Python project directory. These directories contain site-wide templates that may contain i18n strings that should be translated. It makes sense to locate the message catalogs for these string with the templates. I propose the following additional convention for translations:

 * Look for a {{{locale}}} directory in every path in {{{settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS}}}. If Django finds a translation, the translation will be installed.

This set-up is already possible by setting {{{settings.LOCALE_PATHS}}}, but this ticket is about proposing a new convention for templates.

If this ticket is accepted I am willing to do the patch."		closed	Internationalization	dev		wontfix		joost@…	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
