Django 1.8 - It translates or it falls back when it should'nt...

[PyMan]

Hi,
 I'm using django 1.8.4 with these settings

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'

ugettext = lambda s: s

LANGUAGES = (
    ('it', ugettext('LANG_ITALIANO')),
    ('en', ugettext('LANG_INGLESE')),
)

LOCALE_PATHS = (
                'C:/path1/locale',
                'C:/path2/locale',
                )

In both path1 and path2 I have "en/LC_MESSAGES/django.po/mo" and "it/LC_MESSAGES/django.po/mo" where all the "msgid" defined in english are also defined in italian (created by "makemessages") and all of them have their "msgstr" compiled with some value (with PO edit and/or manually edited), then compiled with "compilemessages".

For example I have in "en/LC_MESSAGES/django.po"
msgid "TIPO_DOCUMENTO"
msgstr "Document type"

and in "it/LC_MESSAGES/django.po"
msgid "TIPO_DOCUMENTO"
msgstr "Tipo documento"

When using the site in english, the base language, all terms are correctly in english, instead when I change the language via django.views.i18n.set_language something really weird happens: some of the terms (NOT EVERYONE) are not translated, and since django 1.8 introduced fallback system about translations (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24739) I get the english msgstr for "TIPO DOCUMENTO" that is "Document type".

I have some other locale folders in some used django-apps, anyway none of them contains that "msgid". The same is for the ones that are correctly translated.

Anyway if I set the base language to "it", it happens the same problem for english when surfing in english.

Why????
Thank you

I had the same problem with 1.8, l solved editing with external program called poedit. I don't know why django build wrong po file, but when compile the translation is not complete.
