Django i18n: makemessages only on site level possible?
- by AndiDog
I have several strings in my site that don't belong to any app, for example
{% block title %}{% trans "Login" %}{% endblock %}
or a modified authentication form used to set the locale cookie
class AuthenticationFormWithLocaleOption(AuthenticationForm):
locale = forms.ChoiceField(choices = settings.LANGUAGES,
required = False,
initial = preselectedLocale,
label = _("Locale/language"))
Now when I execute django-admin.py makemessages --all -e .html,.template in the site directory, it extracts the strings from all Python, .html and .template files, including those in my apps. That is because I develop my apps inside that directory:
Directory structure:
sitename
myapp1
myapp2
Is there any way to extract all strings that are not in my apps?
The only solution I found is to move the app directories outside the site directory structure, but I'm using bzr-externals (similar to git submodules or svn externals) so that doesn't make sense in my case.
Moving stuff that needs translation into a new app is also possible but I don't know if that is the only reasonable solution.
