About Lazy String Concatenation
When you use lazy translations for the values of attributes of classes, and want to combine a string of multiple translatable strings, you have to use format_lazy() function, instead of any other string concatenation method:
from django import forms
from django.utils.text import format_lazy
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
class MyForm(forms.Form):
q = forms.CharField(
label=format_lazy(
"{}: {}",
_("Global search"),
_("Enter a few characters for autosuggestion"),
),
required=False,
)
