 We have setup translation following
 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/i18n/translation/#lazy-
 translation .
 Works great.

 We have found a case, where translation is simply refused though and the
 initial string is returned, even though complete translation is provided
 with the `django-admin makemessages` --> Weblate --> `django-admin
 compilemessages` workflow. The word `None`.

 {{{
 from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _

 damage = {
     PRESENT: {
         "verbose_name": _("Present"),
     },
     NONE: {
         "verbose_name": _("None"),
     },
     NO_INFORMATION: {
         "verbose_name": _("No information"),
     },
 }
 }}}

 `backend\RestAPI\locale\ja\LC_MESSAGES\django.po`
 {{{
 ...
 #: .\RestAPI\algorithms\AD00002\cl20231101_2.py:25
 #: .\RestAPI\model_constants.py:89 .\RestAPI\model_constants.py:98
 msgid "None"
 msgstr "なし"
 ...
 }}}

 this code results in translations for all words, except `None`, which
 keeps returning `None` untranslated. Didn't debug deep enough to
 understand whether this is an issue with Django, specifically
 `gettext_lazy` or the underlying `gettext` suite of tools.
