why whene I run makemessages the locale repertoir still empty

Using Django
1

I have some problems using the command django-admin makemessages -l es I’m running it but the locale repertory still empty and and there is not .po files generated on my locale repertory. and after running the command I get this message processing locale es

I add this following code on my setting.py file:

LOCALE_PATHS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale')
]

And:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

I have gettext installed and I have created a repertory named locale on root of the project, I don’t realy get the problem

LOCALE_PATHS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘locale’)
]

  • make sure you import os in settings.py above the file.
    import os
  • you might use gettext_lazy() instead Docs.

if not working too please provide settings.py languages section.
