Django translation using rosetta not reflecting changes

I currently have a small problem using saleor:

First, I set the following configuration in saleor/settings.py:

# other settings config
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'pt_BR'
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..'))
LOCALE_PATHS = ( 
    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "locale"),
)
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True

Then I created the directory tree /locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES at the project's root.

After that, I opened up rosetta and started translating everything to my language code (pt_BR). Everything worked as expected, but I can't see the changes I made on the website.

I already tried:

It generates the .po and .mo files inside the expected folder, but nothing seems to change (everything is still in english)

Additional info: Django version 1.9.3 Python version 2.7

Does anybody have the same problem? Thank you

This is my final (with the problem solved) .po file:

My problem was:

My django.po file was not filled with the correct language code:

"Language: \n"

so I changed to 

"Language: pt_BR\n"

after re-compiling messages (python manage.py compilemessages) everything worked nicely.

Also, I found out the LOCALE_PATHS setting needed a slash after the path like this:

LOCALE_PATHS = ( 
    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "locale/"),
)
