30723	Lazy translations in field help cause JSON serialize errors	Rob Lineberger	nobody	"Attempting to json.dumps() the result of apps.get_models() leads to a TypeError:

{{{

TypeError at /uploader/select-models/

'Designates whether this user should be treated as active. Unselect this instead of deleting accounts.' is not JSON serializable
}}}

That is because ""Designates whether this user should be treated as active. ...."" is not a string, but the converted representation of a django.utils.functional.lazy.<locals>__proxy__ object.  That is not JSON serializable.  

Debugging this is onerous because in all respects the help text looks and acts like a string.
