Question

Because of the APPEND_SLASH = True setting all requests with “/whatever/path” will be redirected to “/whatever/path/”.

BUT urls definded within a i18n_patterns() don’t redirect for some reason

even the test works:

./runtests.py --settings=test_sqlite i18n.URLRedirectWithoutTrailingSlashTests

Answer 1

it doesn’t work properly if the middleware’s aren’t in order.

see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-discovers-language-preference

that’s how it should look like:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
   'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
   'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
   'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
   ...
)
