I am using Django allauth and strings marked for translation in views and forms

  • 0

I am using Django allauth and strings marked for translation in views and forms do not appear in the .po file after running makemessages.

For example, in site-packages/allauth/account/forms.py:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _, ugettext
...
error = _("The username and/or password you specified are"
          " not correct.")

Also I am using rosetta for translations but allauth does not appear in list of 3rd party apps.

Any idea on why might makemessages and rosetta are ignoring allauth for translation?
