In your settings.py you should have:

USE_I18N = True
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'zh_CN'

LocaleMiddleware should not be used.

Also django.po file needs to be compiled - cd askbot; python ../manage.py compilemessages

Your system must have package called gettext - it might be absent in some systems.

Does this help you?

hi, I have tried to run python ../manage.py compilemessages , but I got Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project or app tree, or with the settings module specified.

This needs to be done fro askbot app directory not from the project root. From where did you download askbot?

I used virtualenv and askbot-setup under /home/jerry/WebApp/ and used . for where the Askbot project resides. do I need to install it under the Vitualenv dir ?( for my case, /home/jerry/VE)

you need to activate your virtual environment, then cd askbot, then run python ../manage.py compilemessages. That is assuming that you've installed askbot in development mode - using python setup.py develop in the first place, otherwise the command needs to be run from the askbot app directory - possibly inside your virtual environment.

I think i did not have the develop mode installed, so How do I do it? I only know the askbot-setup command for installing the project. where can I find the setup.py?
