Since fix for #25915 (f0a4ff2b118cbc3b7f9ac28a7d9e355288b546c0 in 1.9
branch), the translation.activate can bring translations in non working
state, but doesn't report any failure. In past it has silently fallen back
to default locale in this case, making the system work, but now it just
quite unfriendly and hard to debug error from any gettext call.
Simple test case:
{{{
>>> from django.utils import translation
>>> translation.activate('foo')
>>> translation.gettext('x')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/django/utils/translation/__init__.py", line 77, in gettext
return _trans.gettext(message)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 312, in gettext
return do_translate(message, 'gettext')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 298, in
do_translate
result = getattr(translation_object,
translation_function)(eol_message)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/gettext.py", line 348, in gettext
tmsg = self._catalog.get(message, missing)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
}}}
I think that either translation.activate should fail or fallback to
default locale.

'x'
