Template for Password Reset Email
Hi,
I have a list and user account set with French as the preferred language.
Most message emails (such as the Welcome email) all arrive in French, but not the Password Reset email (shown below) - it arrives in English.
I'm guessing that there may not be an .mo file for it.
I don't see a template for the Password Reset email in the list's administration settings.
Is it possible to create a template for it? Something like "list:user:action:reset"?
My thinking is, if creating a template is possible, to (a) write it in French for this list; and (b) rewrite it differently as it's confusing some users.
Regards, Mark

This message comes from django-allauth. there is a French message
catalog for it. These are in site-packages/allauth/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES
and should be good. You can always run django-admin compilemessages to
update all the .mo files for all the projects.
However, the issue is probably that Django doesn't get the language context from the list's preferred language. In fact, the password reset is not in a list context at all. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-di... for how it determines the language to serve.

I can see the French text for the "Password Reset Email" in the django.po file. And running the compilemessages command reports the "django.po" for French is okay and up to date. Should I be recompiling the ".mo" file?
cd /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/allauth (venv) ... $ django-admin compilemessagespwd ... File “/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/allauth/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/django.po” is already compiled and up to date. ...

I'm afraid I don't understand the Django documentation. It seems to be referring to site-wide settings for language, and not "per list".

No, It's fine. The issue is the language context for this message has nothing to do with any Mailman list's preferred language.
Again, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-di...
If all the lists on your server are French, you could set
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fr'
in your Django settings. Otherwise, the user's browser has to include an Accept-Language: header specifying French as the most preferred language in it's request.
Also note the ordering of SessionMiddleware, LocaleMiddleware and CommonMiddleware in the above doc. I have recently updated the various places where we suggest or supply MIDDLEWARE settings, but you may find that your settings have LocaleMiddleware after CommonMiddleware and you should fix that.

It's just the one list that is using French. Others are in English
I've edited the order of the middleware settings in this file ...
/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/mailman_web/settings/base.py
I reordered as below, restarted everything but no joy :-(
... at Line 76 ... MIDDLEWARE = ( 'allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django_mailman3.middleware.TimezoneMiddleware', 'postorius.middleware.PostoriusMiddleware', ) ...
I'm thinking this is not the file I'm looking for. Apologies for my cluelessness here.

Your reording is fine.

You have done everything correctly. What is missing is the user's
browser is not putting fr first in the Accept-Language: HTTP header in
it's requests.
Most browsers have a setting to control this.

Gotcha. Wow! That was a suprise. Here I was thinking that there was no way the browser's setting would have any effect on the email.
But now I see how it all works. Brilliant!
Thank you once again Mark. Your patience and guidance are truly appreciated.
Best, Mark
