ugettext_lazy problem in models and modelsforms

[javier@…]

FIrst, sorry for my english, I'm Chilean.

I'm trying to use i18n but this don't works fine.

I made a model class

class Person(models.Model)
  name = models.CharField(_("name"), max_length=255)

and I use a modelForm

class PersonForm(ModelForm):
  class Meta:
    model = Person

when I show the PersonForm in a view this don't show anything, but if I use a {% trans "name" %} in a tempalte, this works fine.

In some part I saw "Lazy unexpected type" in wrapper I don't remember well.

This is curios, when I put #,fuzzy in a .po file, the form show the translate god but not the template.

I hope you can help me.

This works for me.

You need to make sure the Python process that is rendering your form has the language you expect the form labels displayed in activated. This can be achieved in different ways:

• ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-discovers-language-preference
• Calling django.utils.translation.activate() as described in ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#using-translations-outside-views-and-templates
