bool(ungettext_lazy('%(value)d blah', '%(value)d blahs', 'value')) returns False

Expected: True

In particular this shows up when trying to provide a custom ungettext_lazy message to django.core.BaseValidator (or any subclass), since message is only overriden in __init__ if message

Not sure if this is also present on Django>1.8 (couldn't find any existing references to this bug).

I'm happy to tackle this an approach is agreed upon. It's totally possible that this is expected and simply requires 1) documentation and 2) better checks for overrides (i.e. if message is not None). This would, however, probably be the most painful approach to fixing it as all if message and similar checks would need to be identified and audited.

Duplicate of #25571; fixed in Django 1.10. To avoid wasting ticket triager time, please verify issues affect master (or at least the latest release version) rather than reporting against old versions.

I don't have time to spin up a new Django environment to verify every bug when there are those familiar with the codebase that know if a bug has been fixed.

If, on the other hand, no one knows, I'm happy to follow up, as I stated in my comment. If you don't want bugs submitted, don't have a public bug tracker.

That said, glad it's been fixed!
