Ok, you won't believe this one: neither do I \\
(and I've seen a lot of mistakes done by myself during my programming
years --- I'm not such an experienced programmer, but I try)
I'm so involved in internationalization, that I'm always reading online
questions about this topic, trying to learn something more, and to help
other people in the (rare) fortunate case that I know how to help them.
In several communities/forums/etc I've stumbled on several people posting
tickets (with titles like "Django Internationalization not working" ) \\
where the error was simply that they're copy-pasting the code in this
documentation part \\
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/i18n/internationalization
/#the-set-language-redirect-view \\
without noticing that in this line \\
{{{<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/next/page/" />}}} \\
The "{{{/next/page/}}}" string is just an example. \\
(They actually used {{{"/next/page/"}}} as a value)
Ok, things likte this can happen to everyone, we know that. \\
At the beginning I thought that it was because the askers were newbies,
but I've seen this issue also from more advanced people... \\
The reason could be maybe distraction, maybe faith... I don't know... \\
But the fact is that too many programmers made the same mistake, \\
so maybe this part of the documentation could be improved in someway \\
(I don't know... maybe a simple change like "{{{/next/page/path/}}}" or
"{{{next_page}}}" or "{{{desired_next_page}}}" could help)
Thank you
