Translation from templates doesn't work.

[Shahar Or]

String in my template don't translate. They stay English even though they do pop up in the po files using `makemessages`.

To make sure that the current `lang` is indeed what I expect it to be, I use `{{ lang }}` in the template somewhere.

I have `{% load i18n %}` in the template somewhere near the top. Does the order matter?

I have `USE_I18N = True` and
```
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
    'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
    'django.core.context_processors.media',
    'django.core.context_processors.static',
    'cms.context_processors.media',
    'sekizai.context_processors.sekizai',
    'bidiutils.context_processors.bidi',
)
```

I restart the server and still I get no translation.

I don't know whether translation from code such as views works because I didn't code any views. i'm only using `django-cms` and in it's scope translation does seem to work because it's interface gets translated and I do get the pages in the language that I expect.

Do you comvert these -po files to .mo files using the compilemessages
Django command or the msgfmt GNU gettext utility?

Otherwise the translations wont be picked up.
