Django translations not working with Django-cms and djangocms-blog - django

Question

I have a problem with my Django Translations.
My Django doesn't translate my tags.
I use django-cms and in django-cms I have a plugin djangocms-blog.
Django == 1.6.5
Django-cms == 3.0.3
Djangocms-blog == 0.2b5
My transtags are not translated.
Example tag:
{% trans "read more" %}
I installed everything correctly, my settings.py contains this:
gettext = lambda s: s
# Internationalization
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'nl'
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Brussels'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True
LOCALE_PATHS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'),
)
LANGUAGES = (
('nl', _(u'Dutch')),
('fr', _(u'French')),
('en', _(u'English')),
)
CMS_LANGUAGES = {
1: [
{
'code': 'nl',
'name': gettext('Dutch'),
'fallbacks': ['en', 'fr'],
'public': True,
'hide_untranslated': True,
'redirect_on_fallback':False,
},
{
'code': 'en',
'name': gettext('English'),
'fallbacks': ['nl'],
'public': False,
'hide_untranslated': True,
'redirect_on_fallback':False,
},
{
'code': 'fr',
'name': gettext('French'),
'public': False,
'hide_untranslated': True,
},
],
2: [
{
'code': 'nl',
'name': gettext('Dutch'),
'public': True,
'fallbacks': ['en'],
},
],
'default': {
'fallbacks': ['en', 'fr'],
'redirect_on_fallback': True,
'public': False,
'hide_untranslated': False,
}
}
In My Middleware classes:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',

'cms.middleware.page.CurrentPageMiddleware',
'cms.middleware.user.CurrentUserMiddleware',
'cms.middleware.toolbar.ToolbarMiddleware',
'cms.middleware.language.LanguageCookieMiddleware',
)
My urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = i18n_patterns(
'',
url(r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^products/', include('catalog.urls')),
url(r'^contact/', 'contact.views.contact'),
url(r'^pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),
url(r'^taggit_autosuggest/', include('taggit_autosuggest.urls')),
url(r'^', include('cms.urls')),
)
if settings.DEBUG:
import debug_toolbar
urlpatterns = i18n_patterns('',
url(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
url(r'^404/$', 'django.views.defaults.page_not_found'), # TODO MOET NOG VERPLAATST WORDEN
url(r'^500/$', 'django.views.defaults.server_error'), # TODO MOET NOG VERPLAATST WORDEN
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
url(r'', include('django.contrib.staticfiles.urls')),
) + urlpatterns
In my blog_items.html page (a page from the djangocms-blog plugin template that I override)
{% load i18n thumbnail cms_tags %}
{% load url from future %}
I created my languages within the virtual env by
Going to the virtual env by "workon app"
I run the command django-admin.py makemessages -l nl (the po files are created correctly)
I run the command django-admin.py compilemessages and everything seems fine
In the root of my program is the locale folder with 3 subfolders: en, fr and nl. They contain all the LC_MESSAGES folder with a django.mo and django.po file with the correct message strings.
#: .\templates\djangocms_blog\includes\blog_item.html:37 #, fuzzy
msgid "read more"
msgstr "lees meer"

Answer 1

This is solved.
First of all the fuzzy had to be removed.
I had to add the parler settings correct into my general settings:
In the documentation of Django-parler (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-parler ) they suggest the next settings:
PARLER_LANGUAGES = {
None: (
{'code': 'nl',},
{'code': 'en',},
{'code': 'fr',},
),
}
Instead of
PARLER_LANGUAGES = {
1: (
{'code': 'nl',},
{'code': 'en',},
{'code': 'fr',},
),
}

Answer 2

AFAIK translations marked as fuzzy are not compiled in the mo files and you must "unfuzzy" them before being available
