django translation template {% trans "something" %}

I just spent few hours trying to fix this issue in Django 1.5 while working on my new project Sportolio and it turned out I was missing a comma at the end of LOCALE_PATH

LOCALE_PATHS = (
    '/path/to/my/project/locale/',
)

This is very crucial, as Django expects LOCALE_PATHS to be a TUPLE not a String.

I hope it save someone's life :)

In Django 1.4 the locale directory at project root is not longer supported. You should add it to LOCALE_PATHS setting, which is empty by default. Django Settings.

However the management commands involved in locale generation, seems to work, so I don't know if you already did it.
