Comment (by aaugustin): I think the proper solution is to output `settings.TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID` when the translation string is invalid. I'm against hardcoding a fallback to `'en'`: - if someone builds a website in Greek and the English translation is wrong, this doesn't fix the error; - if someone builds a website in Turkish and the German translation is wrong, I don't know what happens, but if it works it's a hack :) Currently, the `'en'` locale is special-cased in only one place: `django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog`. This has bugged me for a long time, the implementation is incredibly convoluted, and I still can't figure out why it's necessary. Apparently, you were involved in #14924, so you probably know this piece of code better than I do :) -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16516#comment:3> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
