The makemessages command should use case insensitivity when checking for
paths in LOCALE_PATHS
For example, I set LOCALE_PATHS to the path ‘locale’
The .po files will only be generated if the locale folder is named with
the same lowercase spelling of ‘locale’.
If the locale folder has the name “LOCALE”, Django will not find the
folder ‘locale’, and makemessages will throw out this command error:
Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project
or app tree. If you did indeed run it from the SVN checkout or your
project or application, maybe you are just missing the conf/locale (in
the django tree) or locale (for project and application) directory? It is
not created automatically, you have to create it by hand if you want to
enable i18n for your project or application.

What is the use case for using uppercase in the name?

Unless you provide us with more convincing arguments, I don't see any
reason to ignore case.

The makemessages command should use case insensitivity when checking for
paths in LOCALE_PATHS
For example, I set LOCALE_PATHS to the path ‘locale’
The .po files will only be generated if the locale folder is named with
the same lowercase spelling of ‘locale’.
If the locale folder has the name “LOCALE”, Django will not find the
folder ‘locale’, and makemessages will throw out this command error:
Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project
or app tree. If you did indeed run it from the SVN checkout or your

enable i18n for your project or application.
Rationale: The problem I came across was that certain translations were
not showing in Rosetta on the beta server (web server), but were showing
on the development server (Mac OS System). After much investigation, it
was because the web server was case sensitive, thus Rosetta was not able
to recognize the LOCALE_PATH and bring in the proper translations.

Comment:
Thanks for complementing the ticket. However, I'm not more convinced as
before. You can always try to raise this issue on the django-developers
mailing list, but as for me, you should respect case. I don't remember
about other parts of Django code handling paths case insensitively, but I
may be wrong.

Comment (by aaugustin):
Yes, Django follows the "Linux" convention of requiring correct case. It
doesn't make sense to have a special case just here.
