can't switch locale

[emdete]

i would like to use a german locale but it stays english. i found LANGUAGE_CODE = 'de-de' in bitpoll/settings.py by default (while #LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us' is in bitpoll/settings_local.sample.py - wasnt that meant to doc the default?) but however i change that setting i see english.

i wonder why that is "en-us" while the name of the locale is "en_US", but even if i set it to en_US or de_DE it doesnt work for me. what did i do wrong? i blindly followed the instructions in the README...

Did you compile the gettext files using ./manage.py compilemessages? If yes, there should be *.mo files next to the *.po files. Loading new *.mo files requires a restart of the application server.

yes, i did a compilemessages and restarted the server afterwords.

It shows as well " This poll has a different timezone than you." while both should be the same. How can i debug the issue to fix it?
