How does email translation work with django allaut

Question

I'm using the most excellent django-allauth to handle authentication. All is well, but I have an issue with the email translations.

First, allauth is definitely using my template.

• I ran: django-admin.py makemessages -l ir -i settings.py
• This created: my_app/locale/ir/LC_MESSAGES/django.po

• In django.po, I make this change:

  templates/account/email/email_confirmation_subject.txt:3
  msgid "Confirm E-mail Address"
  msgstr "FARSI Confirm E-mail Address"

• Then to test, a user signs up on a page where the language is set (), but the email sent is not using what I put in the msgstr above.

I'd like to know have I misunderstood something, is this even how it's supposed to work?
