Unfortunately, it wasn't changed in a particularly correct fashion (I can say that safely, since I was the idiot who made the change). It still doesn't work properly. That's one of the things we are fixing in the Unicode branch. > In my real view I was using gettext, not gettext_lazy but the model has > defined help_text as gettext_lazy so that I have it as a __proxy__ object. > > I resorted to use for this particular case the old version of smart_unicode, > could I have done something smarter? This has a potential problem in that when smart_unicode() is called, your string is translated at that moment. So if you define your form well ahead of time and then, when the form is being converted to a template, the locale setting is different from when you defined the form, the translation will be in the wrong language. This isn't fixable in trunk. After spending almost three days chasing problems trying to fix that in a "simple" way, I ended up starting the unicode branch because it requires a more holistic change. Ultimately, getting gettext_lazy() to work with things like smart_unicode() is probably going to require a bit of a redesign of gettext_lazy(), I suspect. For now, all I can say is get by with what you have working for now and very shortly we will have unicode conversion finished and you can use that.
