Can't figure out why my app is not translated. Here is the what I have in django.po file:

#: products/__init__.py:4
msgid "Products"
msgstr "Продукты"

And I've put this into app's __init__ file:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
_('Products')

And here's what I have in template:

<h2>{% trans app.name %}</h2>

I've compiled .po file, i18n and l10n in settings are turned on. App's name translation doesn't work though.

UPDATE: now I can see app name translated in breadcrumbs on app's models objects lists pages, but not on index and app's models list pages.

ehh how are you passing the `app` to the template context, what is a `app`? – Leandro Jan 22 '14 at 12:39
is `{% load i18n %}` in your template? [docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#internationalization-in-template-code) – ptr Jan 22 '14 at 12:45
@lalo, it's admin`s `index.html` template. There's loop which outputs all apps names. – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jan 22 '14 at 13:06
You said you have a `.po` file, did you also compile it to an `.mo` file? – Herman Schaaf Jan 22 '14 at 13:06
@HermanSchaaf, yes I did. – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jan 22 '14 at 13:06
did you restart the server? – Leandro Jan 22 '14 at 13:09
and your app name is `Products`, with a capital `P`? ;) – Herman Schaaf Jan 22 '14 at 13:14
@HermanSchaaf, I've tried `products` too, didn't work. – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jan 22 '14 at 13:16
did you set the `LANGUAGES` in settings file? – Leandro Jan 22 '14 at 13:31
@lalo, I don't know what this LANGUAGES setting is actually for, but I've added it like in docs and it didn't work. – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jan 22 '14 at 14:00
