gettext translation not working on production system

Question

I\'ve encountered a strange problem when translating strings (in the admin) using django\'s gettext: Locally running the dev server all translations are display

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and apart from what Tomasz Zielinski pointed out I had to make the following changes:

in settings.py

LOCALE_PATHS = (
    "/path/to/your/project/locale",
)

Remember the trailing slash and make sure that the directory structure looks something like:

project
   your_app
   your_other_app
   locale
      en_US
          LC_MESSAGES
      sv_SE
          LC_MESSAGES
