I have read on the documentation of Django about gettext_lazy
, but there is no clear definition for me about this exact function, and I want to remove it.
I found this implementation:
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
and it is used on a django model field in this way:
email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), unique=True)
What is it for?
What happens if I remove it?
Its used for translation for creating translation files like this:
# app/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
#: templates/app/index.html:3
msgid "email address"
msgstr "emailová adresa"
Then it can be rendered in template as translated text. Nothing will happen if you remove it and don't want to use multilingualism.
