Translation using django trans tag

Question

In django templates i have a tag as {% trans mypage %} And in translation pages i have en/django.po files i have mypage pointing to "mypage"

My question is if i have to change mypage to minepage then should i change it in views or django.po file

As i understand mypage is only a variable ,to change to appropriate translation we have to change it in .po file and makemessage and compile message. Am i right?

Answer 1

You define translatable strings in your templates and python classes, then you use django commands: makemessages (which makes/updates .PO files) + compilemessages (which makes/updates .MO). So, the point is: you should edit .PO files manually only to change the translation of your label (its value).
