[FIXED] Override default Django translations

Issue

I have a template with this:

{% trans "Log out" %}

This is translated automatically by Django to Spanish as Terminar sesión. However I would like to translate it as Cerrar sesión.

I have tried to add this literal to the .po file, however I get an error saying this literal is duplicated when I compile the messages.

Is there a way to change/override default Django translations?

Thanks.

Solution

The easiest way is to collect the .po file found in the django.contrib.admin locale folder and re-compiling it (you can use POEdit for doing so).

You could also override the django.contrib.admin templates by putting them in your projects templates folder (for example: yourproject/templates/admin/change_form.html) then running makemessages from the project root (although this is no longer supported for django 1.4 alpha if i'm correct)
