Non-unicode verbose field names showing up empty in forms about django-modeltranslation HOT 9 CLOSED

Can't reproduce the problem. Just to get it right, when you use gettext like in the example below, it works for you?

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
title = models.CharField(_('Title'), max_length=255)

from django-modeltranslation.

That is correct. However, with " CharField('Title, maxlength=255) " it shows nothing in the Edit form, in the Admin Interface.

I'm sorry, it looks like with CharField(u'Title', maxlength=255) works, but without the 'u' it does not, so I guess it's not a problem with only "gettext" strings.

Still haven't been able to reproduce this issue.

Please add some details about your setup. Django, Python, modeltranslation versions, operating system...

Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Python 2.6, Django 1.2.1, modeltranslation trunk.

I seem to have pinpointed the issue. It happens with strings that have special characters in them. For example:
conteudo = models.TextField(u'Conteúdo') works, but
conteudo = models.TextField('Conteúdo') shows no labels.
However, if the field is not registered in "translations.py" for translation, it shows labels with or without the "u".

Reproduced it now. Something seems to go wrong in _build_localized_verbose_name.

Weird, at work i can't reproduce the issue, even though i have the same setup like at home.

Let me just add here that the field doesn't even has to be registered for translation in order to get an empty string.

Say your models are defined like:

conteudo = models.TextField('Conteúdo')
foo = models.TextField('Foo')

And you register only "foo" for translation, then the fieldname of "conteudo" will still be empty.
