Answer 1

If you are using gettext.translation to get the translations, i.e:

text_de = gettext.translation('django', locale_dir, ['de'], fallback=True).ugettext('Welcome to my site')

... and your translation works on the development server but not on production, note that locale_dir must point to your locale directory. It might be located elsewhere on one of the systems. Spent like 2 hrs finding it.
