How to give package names to django javascript_catalog view?

Question

From django documentation:

js_info_dict = { \'packages\': (\'your.app.package\',), }

urlpatterns = patterns(\'\', (r\'^jsi18n/

Answer 1

First you need to be sure that your js_info_dict is like this:

js_info_dict = {
    'domain': 'djangojs',
    'packages': ('my_project_name',),
}

And as @daonb suggested, add 'my_project_name' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Make sure that you compile your messages like this:

django-admin.py makemessages -a -d djangojs

That's all!

I don't know why Django doesn't have that information into its documentation. I could find the solution with using these articles below:
