That's not correct, where did you get that idea?

You use the trans template tag to mark plain strings in template code for
translation, blocktrans if the strings have variables embedded in them. See
ttps://
docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/i18n/internationalization/#specifying-translation-strings-in-template-codefor
details. E.g.:
<lots><of><markup><to><make><this><look><fancy>
{% trans "We are the greatest company in the world. yadda yadda." %}
<a><lot><of><other><markup>
{% actual useful stuff%}
<etc> {% trans "A lot of other useless text otherwise the page isn't
professional
enough" %} </etc>
Once all strings are marked, you use the makemessages command (
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/i18n/localization/#message-files)
to generate message files, and that's what you hand to translators to
translate.
