I have a medium sized Django project and was using Django Translation . While i run the command django-admin.py makemessages -l fr . I get the below error while using french.
CommandError: errors happened while running msgmerge
msgmerge: input file doesn't contain a header entry with a charset specification
Where to Specify the charset specification and What to specify in that ?

gettext_lazy is a callable within the django. utils. translation module of the Django project.
In order to make a Django project translatable, you have to add a minimal number of hooks to your Python code and templates. These hooks are called translation strings.
django created . mo files which he uses to get translated strings. MO files: MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. created files.
It is just the normal boiler-plate PO-file header. Something like:
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.
#
#, fuzzy

You should probably look for the header in an existing french PO-file.
The error is probably caused by an app having no internationalized strings.
