If you are using Underscore templates you can have project directory like::<project_directory>/...locale/+- en/+- fr/templates/+- underscore/|+- popup.html+- modals/+- include/+- main.htmland your ``popup.html`` can look like::<div>{% trans "Hello" %} <% username %></div>and you want to render it in something like Backbone::PopupView = Backbone.View.extend({template: _.template(popup_variable_name),});to do this you need to compile your .html template to be available in js with ``popup_variable_name``. Moreover if you have multiple templates, you can bundle them int single js file and serve it via CDN or nginx ommiting django.With ``django-static-underscore-i18n`` you can do this by following. Declare dictionary mapping between html files and js variable names::STATIC_UNDERSCORE_TEMPLATES = {'popup_variable_name': 'underscore/popup.html', ... , }and run  ``python manage.py compilejsunderscorei18n`` which will bundle your html templates into one js file for each locale supporting i18 ``{% trans %}`` tags... _javascript_catalog view: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/i18n/translation/#module-django.views.i18n.. _adding an overhead: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/i18n/translation/#note-on-performance.. _github.com/zyegfryed/django-statici18n: https://github.com/zyegfryed/django-statici18nInstallation------------1. Use your favorite Python packaging tool to install ``django-staticunderscore-i18n``from `PyPI`_, e.g.::pip install django-static-underscore-i18n2. Add ``'staticunderscorei18n'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting::INSTALLED_APPS = [# ...'staticunderscorei18n',]3. Once you have edited your underscore .html templates or `translated`_ and `compiled`_ your messages, use the``compilejsunderscorei18n`` management command::python manage.py compilejsunderscorei18n4. Check that the ``django.core.context_processors.i18n`` context processor is added to your``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS`` setting - should have already been set byDjango. This is needed to resolve request.LANGUAGE_CODE variable during compilation phase::TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (# ...'django.core.context_processors.i18n',)and you should have ``FileSystemFinder`` and ``AppDirectoriesFinder`` to be available::STATICFILES_FINDERS = ('django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder','django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',)5. Edit your template(s) and insert .js files those were compiled. Good practice is to serve static files without django server (you can you nginx for that):.. code-block:: html+django<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}jsunderscorei18n/{{ LANGUAGE_CODE }}/underscore_templates.js"></script>.. note::By default, the generated catalogs are stored to ``STATIC_ROOT/jsunderscorei18n``.You can modify the output path and more options by tweaking``django-staticunderscorei18n`` settings... _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-static-underscore-i18n.. _translated: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/i18n/translation/#message-files.. _compiled: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/i18n/translation/#compiling-message-files
