django 1.8 i18n behaviour change

[drakkan]

Hi,

I updated a project from 1.7 to 1.8 (tested both 1.8.0 and 1.8.1),

in my templates and python code I have string in my native language (italian),

so my po files look likes this:

1) locale en

msgid "original string in italian"

msgstr "english translated string"

2) locale it

msgid "original string in italian"

msgstr ""

now in settings I have:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'

my browser is in italian so request.LANGUAGE_CODE is "it"

now in django 1.7 the fallback translation is taken from the it po file, in django 1.8+ en translation is used (probably since msgstr is empty and default LANGUAGE_CODE is "en")

do you consider this a bug?

thanks
