makemessages error. Please help!

[whitelotus]

Hi, all,

To create the message file, I did "django-admin.py makemessages -l zh_CN". It popped out the following error which I couldn't find on the web. Could anyone tell me the reason why this happened, please? <app path> is the absolute app path which is right. I tried "touch <app path>/locale/django.pot", but it still complained the same error and it seemed that msguniq deleted this file. I also tried "django-admin.py makemessages --keep-pot -l zh_CN" which didn't work either. Thank you.

processing locale zh_CN

CommandError: errors happened while running msguniq

msguniq: error while opening "<app path>/locale/django.pot" for reading: No such file or directory

hi maybe you need configure the setting put path for you locale dirs

LOCALE_PATHS = (

    os.path.join(SITE_ROOT,'locale'),

)

Cheers

Hi, 

Thank you for the help. I did have configured the LOCALE_PATHS in setting.py, which looks:

 85 LOCALE_PATHS = (                                                                                    

 86     os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'locale').replace('\\', '/'),                           

 87 )

Any other ideas, please? Thanks.

Best,

Qian

Well, according to a question on stackoverflow, this message appears when you don't have any message to translate in your app.. maybe you could check it ?

[whitelotus]

Thank you. It's working now. The strange thing is that I did have strings to translate in the template but without strings to translate in py, it complained like that. When I added something to translate in py, it works.

I think I got it right. I forgot to add quotes for the strings to translate in trans tag. Thank you all.
