Hi NobinPegasus, ugettext_lazy` was deprecated in v2.2 and no longer used in django v3+. Check your version of django’s documentation regarding lazy translation (here’s v3.2).
the issue. Currently on each new Django 4.0.2 installation we need to:
open: /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/jsonfield/fields.py
change the line 9 from:
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
to:
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
What is this package “jsonfield”?
From its path, it looks like it’s a third party package and not part of Django - in which case the issue needs to be addressed by that third party library and is not a Django issue.
Where do you find the location of the folder “site-packages”?
I looked at the directory for the file
File "/home/eric/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django_celery_monitor/apps.py", line 5, in <module>
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
and wasn’t sure where to locate the file apps.py. Would you like to provide a tutorial on where to locate the file?
I am using Wagtail 6.0.1 and Django 5.0.3. The file I am using has this code has this code from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
However, I am still getting this error:
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
ImportError: cannot import name 'ugettext_lazy' from 'django.utils.translation' (/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/django/utils/translation/__init__.py).

This issue occurs because the ugettext_lazy alias was deprecated in Django 2.0 and completely removed in Django 3.0. This is probably a third-party app you are using trying to import ‘ugettext_lazy’
To solve that, put the following code in your settings.py file
# settings.py
import django.utils.translation as original_translation
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy
original_translation.ugettext_lazy = gettext_lazy
