I have a web application developed using python 2.7.6, flask and deployed on a Apache Ubuntu server.

For internationalization, the app uses the flask-babel package in order to translate into Thai. However, it seems that my translations/th/LC_messages/messages.po file is ignored.

It works perfectly in my localhost but not in the server. To force the selection of the locale, I use the code below:

@babel.localeselector
def get_locale():
    return 'th'

It seems there is something that might be missing in my configuration file but couldn't figure it out.

If you have any ideas please feel free. Thank you.

I encountered this exact same issue! My babel translations were working fine when I ran the app locally, but on my apache server, none of the text was translating as expected.

After attempting a number of different fixes, I figured out that (for whatever reason), my custom get_locale localeselector override function was not getting used by the app when it ran on the apache server.

I ended up explicitly importing the get_locale function into the relevant view file, which resolved the issue.
