18483	HiddenInput validation i18n trouble	Evil Clay <clay.evil@…>	EmilStenstrom	"I have a model with ForeignKey filed and an ModelForm where i do set the Hidden Input widget for this filed.
I have these issues with required validation.

1. if the field is empty i get an validation error that is only partially in my language.
2. The error is printed out as non_field_error when i use form.as_p, but its not printed by the form.non_filed_error alone since the behavior is inconsistent.

I have tracked the issue to the module <django.forms.forms> line 152:
top_errors.extend([u'(Hidden field %s) %s' % (name, force_unicode(e)) for e in bf_errors])

To my (limited) knowledge i cannot solve the i18n by myself an easy way (dirty solution would by overriding the BaseForm class).
as for to second part i understand that this is an attempt to output the error somehow as i use form.as_xxx but when using hiddenInput on required filed, it is to be expected that i have to output the form myself to display the error on the page where i need to display it.
The best solution to solve both problems would probabbly be to loose the line 152.
Other solution is to loose the (Hidden filed %s part and ignore the inconstancy #2.

only workaround currently is not to use the form.as_xxx methods on an i18n project which implies that the line 152 sucks :)"	Bug	closed	Forms	1.4	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
