✅

You can’t alias ngettext as _. Only functions with single argument (gettext or gettext_lazy) can be aliased as _ as stated in documentation. The reason is how xgettext (GNU gettext tool) works.

the weird part about this situation is if you change the imports like this

from django.utils.translation import ngettext
from django.utils.translation import gettext as _

It will work as expected 🙂
