copied!<p>This is what worked for me:</p> <ul> <li><p>create a file in your app folder which will hold django messages for which translations need to be overridden, e.g. <code>django_standard_messages.py</code></p></li> <li><p>in django lib folder or in <code>django.po</code> files find the message (string) that needs to be overridden, e.g. <code>django.forms/fields.py</code> has message <code>_(u"This field is required.")</code> which we want to translate to german differently</p></li> <li><p>in <code>django_standard_messages.py</code> add all such messages like this:</p></li> </ul> <blockquote> <pre><code># coding: utf-8 _ = lambda s: s django_standard_messages_to_override = [ _("This field is required."), ... ] </code></pre> </blockquote> <ul> <li>Translate the file (<code>makemessages</code>, <code>compilemessages</code>) - makemessages will add added django standard messages in your application .po file, find them and translate, run compilemessages to update .mo file</li> <li>tryout</li> </ul> <p><strong>The logic behind:</strong> (I think ;) ) - when <strong><code>ugettext</code></strong> function searches translation for one message (string), there are several <code>.po</code>/<code>.mo</code> files that needs to be searched through. <strong>The first match is used</strong>. So, if our local app <code>.po</code>/<code>.mo</code> is first in that order, our translations will override all other (e.g. django default). </p> <h2>Alternative</h2> <p>When you need <strong>to translate all or most of django default messages</strong>, the other possibility (<strong>which I didn't tried</strong>) is to <strong>copy</strong> default django <code>.po</code> file in our locale or some other special folder, and fix translations and register the folder (if new) in <code>LOCALE_PATHS</code> django <code>settings</code> file as first entry in the list. </p> <p><strong>The logic behind:</strong> is the very similar as noted in previous section.</p>
