Hi all I have a working django project deployed on pythonanywhere, I also have a copy of the project stored on my computer, this is where I test any changes etc before uploading the edited files to my project on pythonanywhere, so my question is as follows: I have edited my local project to do translations, and I did this by creating a locale dir and creating po files, now can I: just create the dir in my live project and drop the po files in there, or do I need to run the makemessages and compilemessages in the bash terminal

Also how do I make a backup of my project on pythonanywhere before making any changes so if it doe snot work I can just revert back to the original files (the git hub version has the editions in already from the local project) Thanks in advance

Git is actually a very good tool to back up your project -- as long as all the files you want to be backed up are being tracked. I think you should be good with the already created message files, but you can always check in the documentation for more precise information.

HI, thanks for responding, I have the project on git but I was wondering if pythonanywhere had a back up facility built in Thanks in avance

No, we encourage users to backup their code and data.
