I'm not sure how aliasing a function could change its behavior. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake in your project? Can you provide a failing test (tests/i18n/tests.py) or a sample project that demonstrates the issue?

This is a limitation of xgettext,

Because of how xgettext (used by makemessages) works, only functions that take a single string argument can be imported as _:

  • gettext()
  • gettext_lazy()
