The purpose of translation is to translate strings based on the requested
language of a given HTTP request. What is the point of such a translation
in the context of a one-time setting of class attributes? You have to pick
a particular language for the translation, and then whatever language you
pick will permanently determine the value of those attributes.
In any case, you don't want to use current.T for this purpose, as the T
object associated with a given request has a particular translation
language associated with it. Also, by default, T() returns a LazyT object,
so the translation doesn't happen immediately (though you can force it).
If you need to translate something statically, you can instead import the
translator class from gluon.languages and instantiate your own translator
object (it takes a path to the translation files as well as a language).
However, if you just want a fixed class attribute, you might as well just
specify the string directly (particularly if you just want the English
version) rather than invoke a one-time translation.
