Yet another issue with Django Translation

Question

After reading dozens of questions and answers about not working transtalions, I give up, because I did (I think I did) everything mentioned in other threads and still can't get work done.

My settings.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from __future__ import absolute_import
import os
from socket import gethostname

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
HOSTNAME = gethostname()

def make_path(path):
    return os.path.join(BASE_DIR, path)

def make_abs_path(path):
    return os.path.abspath(make_path(path))

def get_proj_root():
    curr_path = make_abs_path('')
    return os.path.split(curr_path)[0]

urls.py, on the end of urlspatterns:

url(r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),

Form in header (later it will be replaced with nice 'click-on-flag' select, but for now...)

<form action="{% url 'set_language' %}" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    <select name="language">
        {% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
        {% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
        {% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
        {% for language in languages %}
            <option value="{{ language.code }}"{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} selected="selected"{% endif %}>
                {{ language.name_local }} ({{ language.code }})
            </option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Zmień język" />
</form>

Simply - I've done everything like the docs said. Django saves and remembers LANGUAGE_CODE (I can see that because of 'selected' if in form and I double checked that), but fails to translate anyway. LOCALE_PATH is valid:

>>> settings.LOCALE_PATH
'/home/mefioo/apps/generator/src/locale/'

I've run 'compilemessages':

locale/
└── en
    └── LC_MESSAGES
        ├── django.mo
        └── django.po

Any ideas?

EDIT: Order in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES - after session, before common, still not working.

EDIT: After @Andrea Corbellini suggestion, I've made translations for 'pl' as well, msgstr equal to msgid, still nothing. How can I check if Django finds locale files, even if I'm sure LOCALE_PATH is correct?

Answer 1

Ok, I'm blind and my brain has tricked me, there is not such thing like LOCALE_PATH, there's LOCALE_PATHS. I added this litte 'S' and now everything works. (I need to go back to elementary school to learn how to read again, sorry for problems.)
