+1 to Alberto's suggestion. The gettext function transparently calls lazy_gettext if the local request is unavailable. This should clear up the confusion. We do the same with ngettext/lazy_ngettext. The _ alias still stands for gettext. Of course, if you want to explicity use lazy_gettext you just have
from turbogears.i18n import lazy_gettext as _ in your module. Bob:I also found problems using lazy_gettext for FormEncode messages, as FE does not handle unicode (though a more complete i18n fix for FE will be along soon).
