imported tuples/variables don't get translated

[Ivo Brodien]

If I import some tuple which is used for choices in a forms.RadioSelect widget, then the choices don’t get translated

models.py:

BOOL_CHOICES = ((True, _(u'Yes')), (False, _(u'No')))

forms.py:

from models import BOOL_CHOICES

1) does work an translates the choices
form.fields['accomdation'].widget = forms.RadioSelect(choices = ((True, _(u’Yes')), (False, _(u'No'))))

2) does not translate the choices
form.fields['accomdation'].widget = forms.RadioSelect(choices = BOOL_CHOICES)

something similar happens for a label

STATIC = _(u”mystring”)

...label = STATIC does not work
...label = _(STATIC) does work

Is this a bug or a desired behavior or am I missing something?

Are you doing: from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ ?
or: from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _ ?

The first one shoud work.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.

Indeed I used ugettext instead of ugettext_lazy

Thanks!
