Whoops -- the above was actually me! Looks like Malcolm was using my browser and I forgot to log out. I assure you I'm not trying to steal his identity :)

Sorry but I don't understand.
Why you have to use a wrong javascript snippet for showing the correct way to use the gettext function?
Isn't better to show the correct javascript with the correct function?

Because the extra code you're suggesting distracts from the gettext() call, which is what the example is meant to be showing.
The docs aren't showing an example of JavaScript; they're describing the
gettext
function that Django's providing.
