First, you could see 'choices' parameter in CharField or IntegerField,
and django has a handly function get_FOO_display() to get the
corresponding string value of a special key, just like what you want.
In db_api document, searcin get_FOO_display you'll get the answer.

Second, yeah there is limit for ifequal, you can not using filter to
template var. There is not a good sulotion I think, except you can use
CatchTag written by me. http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/10/
For example:
{% catch as state %}{{ message.state|stateName }}{% endcatch %}
{% ifequal state "Sent" %}
