I would hazard a guess (and I may be wrong and thus doing Adrian a
disservice) that i18n support for newforms has not been completely
though through yet. There seem to be a couple of places in the code that
need some i18n support put in.
As a general rule, any code that is executed when a file is imported
should be using gettext_lazy as the translation function. This would
include things like the class attributes you are defining in your
example. A consequence of this is that the code which uses those strings
needs to call gettext() on the string in order to force the translation.
Right at this moment, newforms does not do the gettext call. So you
problem is not completely solvable without a bugfix in Django.
If you could file a ticket about this and put it in the
internationalisation component -- even assign it to me (I am mtredinnick
in Trac) -- we won't forget about it and I'll make sure we get the right
hooks in the code.
