Invalid usage of ugettext in BaseForm.__init__

Description

The line

        self.label_suffix = label_suffix if label_suffix is not None else _(':')

in django.forms.forms.BaseForm.init uses ugettext(). To me it seems it should use ugettext_lazy as that line will be called when the model is defined. This means that the default language is used for translation instead of the use-time language. Using ugettext_lazy() should solve the issue.

I don't believe this is an issue. Form.__init__ is surely not called at module time - it's not a metaclasses' __new__ which is called when the form is defined. The method takes data and files which are naturally user specified data, so it must be called during a response cycle.

Also with the app loading changes to import sequence, these errors tend to blow up now if ugettext is called at module level.
