Comment:
This has come up before (#1668). The part you identify (doing the string
exchange) is not the difficult part of this problem. The hard part is how
to extract the application names in the first place. Somebody would need
to modify the gettext extraction program to work out the application
names. For a number of practical and security reasons, gettext should
generally never ''run'' any code in the application, so you can't just
import the modules and use Python introspection, unfortunately. You also
can't expect everybody to have to write their module names out by hand:
having an arbitrary technical phrase such as the module name translated
isn't important enough to require that to be done by default.
I suspect there are solutions to this problem (maybe using the Python
compile function and bytecode inspection), but it's not a trivial fix.
I'm going to close this as a dupe of #1668, but I wanted to explain what
the real problem that has to be solved here is.
By the way, if you want translation of specific model names to happen,
write something like
{{{
#!python
class Meta:
verbose_name = _("SuperWidget")
verbose_name_plural = _("SuperWidgets")
}}}
in your code.
