[Tutor] django-python Version 1.1.1 - Internacionalization

[andré palma]

Hi all! 
I'm developing a django web application but i'm having a trouble with
the internationalization.

The problem is that translation somehow doesn't work. 

i followed these steps: 

- on my project folder (./translation ) i run the command:
	 "django-admin makemessages -l en-US" 

and it created the follow file with the right content:
	./mysite/locale/en-US/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
inside the file it shows the messagesId's and the related messages
strings to fill with the translation. I was glad to see gettext is
installed.
========================
	#: views.py:12
	msgid "benvindo"
	msgstr "welcome"
========================

this messageID is related with this view: 
=================================================
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _
def translate1(request):
    output = _("benvindo")
    return HttpResponse(output)

#("code from djangobook")
=================================================


- then i run "django-admin compilemessages" and so it has created the
binary file ./mysite/locale/en-US/LC_MESSAGES/django.mo, as i expected.


I think i already have my settings.py file configured and it looks like
this: 
=======================================================================

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-US'

# gettext settings for translation
ugettext = lambda s: s
LOCALE_PATHS = (
    '/home/andrefsp/django/mysite/locale',
)

LANGUAGES = (
    ('pt-PT', ugettext('Portuguese')),
    ('en-US', ugettext('English')),
)



USE_I18N = True


TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'django.core.context_processors.auth',
    'django.core.context_processors.debug',
    'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
    'django.core.context_processors.media',
)

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
)
========================================================================
	
And it still isn't working =( 

I'm out of ideas... I've already googled it everywhere and i couldn't
find the solution.
