How to automatically flag strings for makemessage translation file in django

Question

I'm creating a signal that sends messages to multiple users, and each message should be translated to the receiver's language.

this is a simplified example of that the alert handler does:

def alert_handler(**kwargs):
 t_message = kwargs.pop("message", None)
 context = kwargs.pop("context", None)
 for recipient in recipients:
 activate(recipient.language)
 message = _(t_message, context)
 new_alert = Alert(recipient=recipient, message=message)
 

This works as intended but the makemessages command doesn't recognize the sting passed in the kwargs as a translatable string.

Is it possible to flag a string to be picked up by the makemessages command?

• willeM_ Van Onsem: The problem is that t_message can be anything, so you can not use that to make translations. What items to translate would it suggest?
• pmcoelho: t_message can be anything, but if it is a string present in the translation file it will translate, what I'm asking is if it is possible to add strings to be recognized by makemessages without it being a gettext argument
