Django Developers,

I need to translate my website (Django) to Portuguese (Europe/Portugal version). I translated the site and I was surprised to see that a specific error message was in English (from FileExtensionValidator). I checked and found out that there are many untranslated strings in language code pt, although they are translated in pt_BR. What's the difference and isn't it better to copy all the missing translations from pt_BR to pt, rather than display them in English to the visitors of sites such as mine? I mean they might understand English, but the site is meant to be in Portuguese. I think the minimum is to show them pt_BR translations if pt translations are missing.

I checked other po files such as de, es, it and nl and there are no missing translations there.

Thanks,
Uri Rodberg, Speedy Net.
