Is starting a i18n project to translate only the dates ?

[Laurent Lyaudet]

Hello,

Django defines some strings to translate even before any code is added in a django app.

Is there a default .po for these strings in various languages ?

I looked at the source code for date formating in Django on Github.

And it uses gettext to translate months for example :

https://github.com/django/django/blob/4d4bf55e0ea849476f7e3abfeb018c338f18a9b4/django/utils/dates.py#L24

It seems thus that a .po file is mandatory to have it in another language than English

Until now we formatted dates using python (and probably python uses system locales).

I wanted to use Django features instead but it seems to be quite cumbersome to start an i18n project just for dates translations.

Thanks, best regards,
