Use standard models.TextChoices which can optionally accepts translation too:

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _

class Status(models.TextChoices):
    APPROVED = 'APPROVED', _('Approved')
    CANCELED = 'CANCELED', _('Canceled')

If you’re looking to support multiple languages, take a look at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/i18n/translation/

If you want to get the human-readable version of these enum values, there is a prebuilt function in Django called get_[fieldname]_display() that returns the enum value rather than the key.
