+= Common causes for translation problems =
+
+Did you ever make a website that uses i18n, and diligently populated your messages file, only to find that some strings ''just don't get translated''? This page lists common causes for these kinds of problems.
+
+== Fuzzy ==
+  
+In your message file, try removing the "fuzzy" line.
+
+== ForeignKey without verbose_name parameter ==
+
+In your models, make sure that your ForeignKey fields get a verbose_name parameter. Like this:
+
+{{{
+    parent = models.ForeignKey('self', verbose_name=_('Parent'))
+}}}
+
+== Model methods without short_description attribute ==
+
+If Django is displaying the name of some model method, it should have a short_description attribute. Like this:
+
+{{{
+    def website_context(self):
+        return 'bla bla'
+    website_context.short_description = _('Website context')
+}}}
