I am running into a challenge.  For both examples below everything is good 
except when I move the ugettext() to a separate file.
Good: After running the django-admin.py makemessages -l es, both examples 
produce the appropriate .po file.
Good: I change ../locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
          #: nav/views.py: 
          msgid "name" 
         msgstr "nombre"
Good: django-admin.py compilemessages
Good: I get the appropriate file, ../locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.mo 

This is a simplified version of what is happening.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good: 1 - This works: when ugettext is within the view.
*file : /project/app/views.py*

...other imports
from django.utils.translation import ugettext

class BaseView(ContextMixin, View):
    template = 'base.html'

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        context = self.get_context_data()
        return render(request, self.template, context)

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
       ....
       context['translate_this']= ugettext('name')
       return context
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bad: 2 - This Fails: when ugettext is in another file
*file : /project/app/views.py                           *

...other imports
from .mytext import FROM_ANOTHER_FILE

class BaseView(ContextMixin, View):
    template = 'base.html'

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        context = self.get_context_data()
        return render(request, self.template, context)

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
       ....
       context['translate_this']= FROM_ANOTHER_FILE
       return context

*file: /project/app/text.py                                   *
from django.utils.translation import ugettext

FROM_ANOTHER_FILE = ugettext('name')

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The primary difference between the two examples is that when I separate 
ugettext() to another file - it fails.  
The result is that 'name' never converts to 'nombre' when changing the 
language.  
It works fine in example 1, 'name' and 'nombre' change depending on 
language selected but not in example 2.
