model translationissue

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm trying to translate form names from a model. I have a working contact form for example and have the following code....

============================

from django import forms

from django.core.mail import mail_managers

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class ContactForm(forms.Form):

    name = forms.CharField(_('name'), max_length=100)

==========================

It adds it to my .po file ok, but when I run it in the browser I get the following error...

max_length is the first argument to the CharField constructor. You provided it twice (accidentally, I'm sure): once as the first argument, and again as a named parameter.

If the argument "_('name')" is supposed to be the field label, then you should pass it explicitly as that keyword art, like this:

    name = forms.CharField(label=_('name'), max_length=100)
