Translation

To add a new translation for a word there are two options:

django-admin makemessages --all

This command adds words that are inside django templates to locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po, there these words can be translated.

To add a word you can use the following syntax.

{% trans "new_word" %}

For words used in JavaScript files, the following command must be executed.

django-admin makemessages -d djangojs -l es  --ignore *.min.js

This command adds words that are inside the gettext js function, to locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/djangojs.po, there these words can be translated.

Here is an example of gettext implementation:

alert(gettext("new_word"))
