see https://turbogears.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/classes.html#tg.controllers.util.abort

I suggest you to use detail with gettext:

```

from tg import expose, abort

from tg.i18n import ugettext as _

@expose('templates...blah.blah')

def test(self):

    return abort(401, detail=_('pretty message'))

```

take a look also at your controllers/error.py error controller
