------------------------------------------------+------------------------
The `trans ... as` tag as documented in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/i18n/translation/#trans-
template-tag topics / i18n / translation] only works in an isolated
fashion outside blocks or inside of blocks. In other words, it does not
work across blocks when defined outside of them, i.e. "globally" in a
template.
The following example doesn't work: -- the value of `{{ title }}` will be
empty.
{{{
{% extends 'base.html' %}{% load i18n %}
{% trans "My Projects" as title %}
{% block head_title %}{{ title }}{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h2>{{ title }}</h2>
{% endblock %}
}}}
This behavior is not documented, and neither is this behavior intuitive.
The same behavior and/or lack of documentation is true for `blocktrans
asvar ...`.
== Enhancement or Documentation Fix?
This issue should be clarified and either fixed in the documentation (if
the observations are confirmed), or alternatively changed in the template
tag's behavior (if feasible and sensible).
Which route should be taken? Please clarify.
