Django i18n: how to not translate the admin site?

Question

I have an application in several languages but I would like to keepthe admin site always in english. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I would setup two settings files:

1. settings.py for whole project
2. admin_settings.py for admin only

Then host this project in separate domains:

1. example.com
2. admin.example.com

If you have separate settings files for admin and rest of the project, you can override language settings in your admin_settings.py

You will probably have very similar settings files, so following line on the top of admin_settings.py will be handy:

from my_project.settings import *
