Hi,

You need to understand what are you doing,

Oscar documentation put it really simple.

First create a directory inside your project called i18n and locale

Then create a symbolic link to Oscar package so manage.py makemessages can
find translatable strings.

For the last step, you need to locate where Django Oscar is inside your
hard drive.

One simple way to find python directory is opening a PowerShell or cmd and
opening the python console.

import os
import sys
os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

That gives you the python executable files path.

After navigate to it, go to Lib->site-packages

There you will find all the libraries installed, including django-oscar

Once you have all the data, open a PowerShell or cmd and make the symbolic
link, in windows you can use a shortcut just using right click -> create a
shortcut, then renaming the shortcut and placing it where documentation
mention.

Last, run manage.py makemessages with the flags you need.

Remember, you're dealing with python not with Django as programming
language.

If you don't have idea of what I'm writing, start with a simpler project.

Regards

Julio Cojom
