About String Translations

In Django projects, gettext_lazy() marks a string as "to be translated" whereas gettext() translates it immediately.

  • Use gettext_lazy() in app configurations, models, forms, middlewares, and backends.
  • Use gettext() in views, context processors, and template tags/filters.
