Django Internationalization Noop use case
Example
(u)gettext_noop allows you to mark a string as translatable without actually translating it.
A typical use case is when you want to log a message for developers (in English) but also want to display it to the client (in the requested language). You can pass a variable to gettext, but its content won't be discovered as a translatable string because it is, per definition, variable..
# THIS WILL NOT WORK AS EXPECTED
import logging
from django.contrib import messages
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
error_message = "Oops, something went wrong!"
logger.error(error_message)
messages.error(request, _(error_message))
The error message won't appear in the .po file and you will have to remember it exists to add it manually. To fix this, you can use gettext_noop.
error_message = ugettext_noop("Oops, something went wrong!")
logger.error(error_message)
messages.error(request, _(error_message))
Now the string "Oops, something went wrong!" will be discovered and available in the .po file when generated. And the error will still be logged in English for developers.
