How to translate Django app

I'm trying to add a translation (localization) layer to my appliaction. I have tried to follow the instructions from: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/i18n/translation/#how-to-create-language-files

But I run in some problems when I tried to run

django-admin.py makemessages -l he

In order to create a translation file for Hebrew.

When I first run this code I got the following error:

CommandError: Can't find msguniq. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or newer installed.

So I run the command:

brew install gettext

But I still got an error:

CommandError: Can't find msguniq. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or newer installed.

So I saw in some places that I need to run:

brew link gettext --force

Now when I try to run the command:

django-admin.py makemessages -l he

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm using a Mac with Django 1.7 and Python 2.7.6

please help to understand what I'm missing

try for instance python ../manage.py makemessages -l en inside your app

django-admin.py didn't work for me either

You should point django to your project's settings.py file.

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=/path/to/settings.py
