Django Admin doc Chinese description

[Balicanta]

I try to add admin doc in my project , and add some description to model's docstring, but it appear some error, and my description is Chinese

and I think the problem is cause by "contrib/admindocs/templates/admin_doc/model_detail.html line 29" and {% trans description %} , when I

remove the trans, the error will disappear, my question is the description really need trans?

[Claude Paroz]

I was not able to reproduce your problem. You should give us some minimal code to reproduce the error (and possibly the full traceback of the error).

Sorry, if i have a model like

class Song(models.Model):
    """
    歌曲
    """

And that will appear the error , but if I change to

class Song(models.Model):
    """
    Song
    """

that admin doc work correctly

What is the encoding of your file (see preamble at the top of the file)?

[Balicanta]

# coding: utf-8

Top of the model.py, thanks

[Tim Graham]

I can reproduce with the details above, the exception is a DjangoUnicodeDecodeError:

Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in
position 5: ordinal not in range(128). You passed in
<django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x7fe4f4341b50> (<class 'django.utils.functional.__proxy__'>)

Not sure about the solution, but I don't think simply removing the {% trans %} tag is the correct one.

Does making the docstring a Unicode string help?

[Tim Graham]

Yes, that fixes the issue, thanks! So to summarize, this isn't an issue with Django but rather you need to make the docstring a unicode string by prefixing it with a u or using from __future__ import unicode_literals.

[Claude Paroz]

Ah yes, I had the from __future__ import unicode_literals in my test file, that's why I couldn't reproduce.
