Thank you Tom and KG. I now see that my friend was right(!). http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/i18n/localization/#how-to-create-language-files says: "Django does not support localizing your application into a locale for which Django itself has not been translated."
The motivation for this is explained there but I personally find this disappointing. In my case I only care about my strings and I don't mind mixing the translated language with English. KG, in the workaround you mention as my second option, are you referring to the folder /conf/locale ? Is there where I will be putting my "new" languages? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
