Here is what I did :
Creation of virtualenv in my freshly pulled code
{{{
$ virtualenv djangovenv

}}}
Generating translation files
{{{
(djangovenv) $ ./manage.py makemessages -l fr_FR
processing locale fr_FR
}}}
Here, I got my .po files with all the string from my model and I can run
the server and everything is fine (seems logic as I did not change django
files)
{{{
(djangovenv) $ ./manage.py runserver
Performing system checks...

Django version 2.1.5, using settings 'courtmetrage.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
}}}
I generate the translation
{{{
(djangovenv) $ ./manage.py compilemessages
…
processing file django.po in /myrepo/djangovenv/lib/python3.7/site-
packages/django/contrib/auth/locale/ne/LC_MESSAGES
…
}}}
The output is VERY verbose (1127 lines). I guess django generated admin
lang for every locale ever. No errors so far…
But then, when I try to run manage.py with any parameters, I got an error
:
{{{
ValueError: invalid token in plural form: EXPRESSION
}}}
The manage.py script is still running, maybe wating for file change.
The problem remains until I delete the virtualenv dir and recreate it…
I don’t know what is EXPRESSION, I tried to remove the line as some people
advised on stackoverflow but the error remains…
Am I missing something ? How those basics steps can break my project ?

Comment (by Ramiro Morales):
What are the paths of virtualrnv and the Django project? Do you have the
virtualenv's `lib/` directory under the Django project root dir?

Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30133#comment:1>
Comment (by Adrian Amaglio):
/myrepo
/djangovenv -> the virtualenv
/lib
...
/courtmetrage -> the django project main directory
/settings.py
/urls.py
...
/events -> the app I tried to translate
/models.py
...
/locales -> the generated locales. Maybe that should go in my
project main directory ?
So the lib directory is not under the django root directory

Comment:
Put your virtualenv folder outside of your base Django project (where your
`manage.py` resides) and all should be fine.
When you run `compilemessages` you should not see any path from the
virtualenv directory appear.

Comment (by Adrian Amaglio):
So I put the virtualenv in ~/.venv/courtmetrage, compilemessages only
displays my fr_FR locale.
But I still got the main error when I type './manage.py'
ValueError: invalid token in plural form: EXPRESSION
Maybe I missed something about translation ?
When I run './manage.py runserver' the app still hangs, waiting for file
change.

Comment (by Claude Paroz):
It may be that Django couldn't determine the proper plural equation for
your translation file. Try to rather use `python manage.py makemessages -l
fr` and remove the `fr_FR` files.

Comment (by Adrian Amaglio):
It works ! What is the difference between fr_FR and fr ?
Thanks a lot !

Comment (by Claude Paroz):
`fr` is the generic French locale, `fr_FR` is France-specific variant,
`fr_CA` the Canadian French variant, etc.
