internalization of forms bug

[davidarakelian]

I am trying to translate my website to french version and I don't know if this is bug or wrong way of doing.

When I visit the website with french browser (locales fr), I can see all the translations properly apart from the Form Fields.

I have the following

# User login form
class UserLoginForm(forms.Form):
    login = forms.EmailField(label=_('Login'), max_length=150)
    password = forms.CharField(label=_('Password'), widget=forms.PasswordInput)

I translated and compiled the label for Login and Password to french.

this is my settings.py

# Language code for this installation. All choices can be found here:
# http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/language-identifiers.html
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-en'

#gettext = lambda s: s
LANGUAGES = (
    ('en', 'English'),
    ('fr', 'French'),
    ('tr', 'Turkish'),    
)

If I change this to :

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fr-fr'

My form fields are translated as well. But my default language is now french.
I just want to have english as default and French depending on locales etc...

What _ did you import in your forms file?

[davidarakelian]

from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _

this is what I imported to use the _()

[Alex Gaynor]

You need to use ugettext_lazy since it's a module level string.

That worked like a charm, thank you!
