Create message files

IntelliJ IDEA stores locales in the language-related subdirectories of the locale directory. For creating locales, run the makemessages task of the manage.py utility.

Create a message file

In the main menu, go to Tools | Run manage.py task.
In the manage.py task window, enter makemessages --locale <locale name > and press Enter.
Repeat this step for each locale you want to create.
If there are strings marked for localization, IntelliJ IDEA will produce a directory and django.po file for each locale:
If there are no such strings, only an empty directory structure is created.
