Some strings can not be translated

Hi all!

I'm trying to translate into russian some Askbot's interface that has not been translated yet.

But on my way I found some strings that I cannot find in .po files (even if I'm trying makemessages from scratch).

1) 'sign out' link at top bar

2) 'member since' in user profile

3) big button 'ASK YOUR QUESTION' 'post

4) 'post a comment' link on question page

5) Asked, Seen and Last updated strings from the sidebar.

Could anyone suggest how can I translate these strings? Any help would be appreciated.

Try following these instructions, maybe it helps. I also had similar problems, most of which I solved the way it is explained there.

When I run cd askbot python ../manage.py jinja2_makemessages -l ru -e html,py,txt

as described at http://askbot.org/en/question/2480/how-to-translate-django-applications?answer=3360#answer-container-3360 , an empty ru/LC_MESSAGES catalog is being created in askbot/locale catalog.

And I'd wonder if any .po file would be created, because all askbot code resides in site-packages.

Agreed with @zaf, you need to extract message string from your template and translate them manually or merge with existing translation.

Around a week ago I translated on 'ru' all strings of django.pot that was changed since last official translation update. You can find it here.

I need to aware you that .pot file is not very clean - over an thousand obsolete words (few hundred strings). Along with original translate there was annoying bug - you need to delete string #7172 ('#, python-format') to avoid compilation issues.

Hope it can be helpful for you.
