This in layout.html.  Viewing the rendered source in the browser the output 
is

var dateFormat = "dd mmm yyyy";

Putting T.force('en-us') at the end of models/models.py didn't not change 
anything.

In fact, to take javascript out of the picture I just put a simple T 
statement in the footer of my layout.html:

{{=T('this-is-a-test')}}

And added an entry for it in en-us.py

{
'!langcode!': 'en-us',
'!langname!': 'English (United States)',
'dd mmm yyyy':'mmm dd, yyyy',
'this-is-a-test': 'PASS'
}


The output remains: this-is-a-test

I can easily insert an debug breakpoint: import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() if 
that will help examine anything.
