I would want to provide translation texts (makemessages and write translation strings) inside django-standalone app, to make app support multiple languages. How it can be done?
Currently, I use from django.utils.translation import gettext
to define translation strings. I would not want to run manage.py makemessages command in the parent project and repeat writing translation strings for each parent project.
If you are using Linux you can use this code:
cd your_app_name
python ../manage.py makemessages
Also no difference in windows too but I never tested it!
For more information and understanding the priority of translation directories read this documentation.
