Description
The 'EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX' setting is, by default, a string. This makes it break loud and needlessly if you pass a translation as the subject to 'mail_managers()':
TypeError cannot concatenate 'str' and '__proxy__' objects
The culprit line of django/core/mail.py:
424. EmailMessage(settings.EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX + subject, message, ...
Seems like an easy fix (just change the default setting to unicode?).

Note:

for help on using tickets.
A couple of workarounds could be wrapping your translatable subject with a call to call unicode() before passing it to
mail_managers()or using string_concat().
