For askbot we implemented this just to show that there are translations and there are still two issues - occasionally incorrect display of translations and lack of proper multilingual search.

Source code of askbot site is here https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/tree/askbot-site, it is a little out of date, but it is easy to merge with the master branch.

We use an extension called django-localeurl, available here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-localeurl/1.4, and at the time we started using this it was necessary to patch some code in askbot, so it is forked.

Also we have the following modifications in the settings:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    #'django.middleware.gzip.GZipMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    #'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    #'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
    'askbot_site.middleware.JinjaDjangoLocaleUrlMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    #'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
    #'django.middleware.sqlprint.SqlPrintingMiddleware',

    #below is askbot stuff for this tuple$
    'askbot.middleware.anon_user.ConnectToSessionMessagesMiddleware',
    'askbot.middleware.pagesize.QuestionsPageSizeMiddleware',
    'askbot.middleware.cancel.CancelActionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.transaction.TransactionMiddleware',
    #'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
    'askbot.middleware.view_log.ViewLogMiddleware',
    'askbot.middleware.spaceless.SpacelessMiddleware',
)

Also I have 'localeurl', in my INSTALLED_APPS.

And one more group of settings:

import re
LOCALE_INDEPENDENT_PATHS = (
    re.compile(r'^/m/'),
    re.compile(r'^/rosetta'),
    re.compile(r'^/admin'),
    re.compile(r'^/cache'),
    re.compile(r'^/account/signin'),
    re.compile(r'^/comment/upvote'),
    re.compile(r'^/account/delete_login_method'),
    re.compile(r'^/sitemap\.xml'),
    re.compile(r'^/doc'),
    re.compile(r'^/robots.txt'),
    re.compile(r'^/feeds/rss'),
    re.compile(r'^/upload'),
    re.compile(r'^/followit'),
)

If you have any files missing, please let me know, I'll add them to the repo.
