[New-bugs-announce] [issue17067] Examples in documentation for 3.x in 23.1.3.4. Deferred translations are rather weak

[Carsten Klein]

New submission from Carsten Klein:

The examples for the topic presented are rather weak. In fact, they merely present do nothing replacements for an actually working, deferred localization mechanism or some sort of prototypical implementation thereof.

As such I propose that they be replaced with something more meaningful,
for example such as 


class DeferredTranslation(object):

    def __init__(self, message, ...):

        self.message = message

    def __str__(self):

        return gettext.translation(...).lgettext(self.message)


def _(message, ...):

    return DeferredTranslation(message, ...)


MSG = _('localized message')


Or something else along that way other than the currently presented examples :D
