I'm using the most excellent django-allauth to handle authentication. All is well, but I have an issue with the email translations.

First, allauth is definitely using my template.

  • I ran: django-admin.py makemessages -l ir -i settings.py
  • This created: my_app/locale/ir/LC_MESSAGES/django.po

  • In django.po, I make this change:

    templates/account/email/email_confirmation_subject.txt:3
    msgid "Confirm E-mail Address"
    msgstr "FARSI Confirm E-mail Address"

  • Then to test, a user signs up on a page where the language is set (), but the email sent is not using what I put in the msgstr above.

I'd like to know have I misunderstood something, is this even how it's supposed to work?

  • If the language is not set explicitly, it will use the default language of the system (in your case, its English). Make sure you read through [this section of the documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-discovers-language-preference) which explains how django knows which language to use. You are missing this part. – Burhan Khalid Feb 27 '14 at 12:35
  • Yep, this is nothing to do with allauth, I just needed to read how django determines language. Thanks, – rix Feb 27 '14 at 16:28
