问题
I have a Django project which uses django-tagging and is supposed to run in German. So I looked into the sources and found that django-tagging does indeed use gettext_lazy and is thus completely translatable. However, there are no translations available in the package. So I assume there must be a way for me to translate it from within my project.
In other words, I expect ./manage.py makemessages -a to include untranslated strings from django-tagging, but apparently I'm wrong to expect that.
So, how do I manage this situation properly? Will translating django-tagging in the upstream repository work as expected?
回答1:
You can create gettext messages in django-tagging directory and contribute translations to project leader:
django-admin.py makemessages -l de
If you want to create message catalog in your project directory, you should install or symlink app (check -S option of makemessages) in your project directory. Then use manage.py makemessages command as above.

Within my project directory I make a symlink to that third party app and run my makemessages command with the '--symlinks' option:
../manage.py makemessages -l nl --symlinks
then I remove my symlink

Detailed:
ln -s full/path/to/installed/app/folder path/to/folder/with/symlinks/in/your/project
and then run
django-admin.py makemessages --locale=*lang* --symlinks
for instance if i want translate django-tagging:
ln -s /home/user/python_projects/agregator_gitlab/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tagging /home/user/python_projects/agregator_gitlab/agregator/site_aggregator_backend/extra-locales/tagging
(my manage.py locates agregator/site_aggregator_backend/manage.py)
and
django-admin.py makemessages --locale=uk --symlinks
and all work perfectly!
