Comment:
A few things:
- Use `pgettext_lazy` instead of `ugettext_lazy` to give the rather
ambiguous string `'...'` some context. (e.g.
`end_text=pgettext_lazy('truncatechars end text', '...')`. This will
explain the translators better what this is about.
- The naming of `truncate_chars` and `truncatechars` seems weird. How does
`truncate_chars` relate to `truncate_words`? Can they be combined? Why
isn't the `truncate` filter extended in the first place?
- Don't use inline imports in the template filter.
