==== Expected behavior ====
Email validation error should display in Spanish: "Introduzca una
dirección de correo electrónico válida."
==== Actual behavior ====
Error displays in English: "Enter a valid email address."
Note: All other Django admin messages (form errors, labels, etc.)
correctly display in Spanish.
Only this specific email validation message appears in English.
==== Configuration ====
- Django Version: 5.2.7
- Python Version: 3.13
- settings.py:
{{{#!python
...
MIDDLEWARE = [
...
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
...
]
...
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es'
USE_I18N = True
LANGUAGES = [('es', 'Spanish')]
...
}}}
==== Investigation ====
Confirmed the English string is still used in Django's validator:
{{{
$ grep -i "email" env/lib/python3.13/site-
packages/django/core/validators.py | grep -i "message"
message = _("Enter a valid email address.")
}}}
Checked Spanish locale file - translation exists but is marked as obsolete
(`#~`):
{{{
$ grep -i "correo" env/lib/python3.13/site-
packages/django/conf/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
#~ msgstr "Introduzca una dirección de correo electrónico válida."
#~ msgstr "Correo electrónico"
#~ msgstr "Introduzca una dirección de correo electrónico válida."
#~ msgstr "Correo electrónico"
}}}
Confirmed no active (non-obsolete) translation exists:
{{{
$ grep -i "valid.*email" env/lib/python3.13/site-
packages/django/conf/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po | grep -v "^#"
# no results returned
}}}
Verified the compiled .mo file doesn't contain the translation:
{{{
$ msgunfmt env/lib/python3.13/site-
packages/django/conf/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.mo | grep -i "email"
# no results returned
}}}
