Usage ​

python
## settings.py
## Create locale folder in root and add this to settings:
LOCALE_PATHS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'),
]

On your template add:

html
{% load i18n %}
{% trans "Import CSV" %}

Create message files (ignores venv folder):

shell
python manage.py makemessages -l en -i venv
python manage.py makemessages -l ja -i venv

Add some translations to locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:

python
msgid "Import CSV"
msgstr "CSVインポートー"

Always when there are changes in translations, run this:

shell
python manage.py compilemessages
