Hi, use ugettext_lazy for translation of urls, models and other stuff which is loaded before language is determined (it's usually done in Middleware or later in view, otherwise all strings will be translated into default language).
You can also write:
url(_(r'^about$'), views.about, name='about'),
which is easier to read and you can see in your .po file, that you are
translating url.
Cheers,
Tom
