Django allauth translations not recognized

I am using Django allauth and strings marked for translation in views and forms do not appear in the .po file after running makemessages.

For example, in site-packages/allauth/account/forms.py:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _, ugettext
...
error = _("The username and/or password you specified are"
          " not correct.")

Also I am using rosetta for translations but allauth does not appear in list of 3rd party apps.

Any idea on why might makemessages and rosetta are ignoring allauth for translation?

Solution

  • Checkout https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#message-files -- specifically the note about running makemessages from the app dir. allauth has its own locale dir which is why its strings don't show in your project level locale directory. Try running makemessages on allauth level ...
