I want to have my website in three languages and allow user to change preffered language somewhere in my template. My models will need translating. I found a few libraries perhaps I should use :
https://code.google.com/p/django-multilingual/ for traslating my models
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-localeurl/1.4 for language prefix in URL's
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/ for translating static parts of my site
However I can't understand how these come together. Perhaps someone could give me a rundown of steps to translate my website.

You can use i18n_patterns instead of django-localeurl if you use Django 1.4. or later.
i18n_patterns will set active language based on URL prefix.
Django I18n will serve translated messages in python code and templates based on active language . (You will have to makemessages
and compilemessages
to create and compile translations).
For translations in model there are lot of libraries, majority of them use active language to serve field translation. I prefer django-modeltranslation, which allows translating of 3rd party app models without changing their code.
Hope this helps!
