compilemessages sees the string as “{sitename} is a good website”, but when the app is running the string is actually e.g. “MySite is a good website”, which of course doesn’t have a translation. You must translate the bare string first, and then you can perform template operations on it.

The following should work:

_('Foo %(x)s') % {'x': "bar"}

s is the string, d is the intiger.

i had the same problem so i translated the text first and then added the dynamic content like 

title = _(u"is a good website")
title = " ".join([website_name, title])

There must be a better way to do this
