Change locale for django-admin-tools

In my settings.py file I have:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'ru-RU'

also, I have installed and working django-admin-tools. But admin language still english. What I'm doing wrong?

PS.

$ cat settings.py | grep USE | grep -v USER
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True

You need to set the language specifically for the admin app. Since django does not provide a language drop down as part of the default login, you have a few options:

  1. Login to your normal (non admin view), with superuser/staff credentials and the correct language, then shift over to the admin URL.

  2. Update the admin templates and add a language dropdown see this snippet.

  3. Create some custom middleware to set the language for admin:

    from django.conf import settings
from django.utils import translation

class AdminLocaleMiddleware:

    def process_request(self, request):
        if request.path.startswith('/admin'):
            request.LANG = getattr(settings, 'ADMIN_LANGUAGE_CODE',
                                   settings.LANGUAGE_CODE)
            translation.activate(request.LANG)
            request.LANGUAGE_CODE = request.LANG

    Add it to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES

    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = {
    # ...
    'foo.bar.AdminLocaleMiddleware',
    # ...
}

    Set the language you want for the admin in settings.py:

    ADMIN_LANGUAGE_CODE = 'ru-RU'

Check if you have translation and localization enabled in your settings.py:

USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True

Also check if you have the translation file (.mo, .po) for russian.
