CommandError: Can't find xgettext. with django i18n

I have building a simple application with django in which I am using I18N. But when I tried to run following command,

D:\work\i18n\testapp>django-admin.py makemessages -l en

I am getting following error ,

D:\work\i18n\testapp>django-admin.py makemessages -l en
CommandError: Can't find xgettext. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or
newer installed.

After this I have installed python-gettext , but I am still getting CommandError: Can't find xgettext... error.

Here is my setting.py

What I am missing here ? Any setting or any other module I have to install ?

You have to install gettext package.

For windows you can download from GetText for Windows

If you are using CentOS then run the command yum install gettext, and for Ubuntu users the command is sudo apt-get install -y gettext
