So I can not set some paths for poedit where it can search for the source
code files? If not, I guess the other option would be to report a bug
(or enhancement) for djang-admin.

My intention was to ask for something like best practices when working on
a Django based project. That was the best subject line I could come up to.
I'm a bit curious what else I could have used.

If I would have had another major issue I would have been more specific,
but for the translation itself Poedit seems to work fine, although some
of the suggested translations are a bit strange. Is there a way to find
out from which MO/PO/RPM file were they extracted and put into the
translations database? There might be a translation bug and I would like
to report it.

Thank you,
