That's correct. The inner class (which shouldn't have the parentheses, btw, since it's a class, not an instance) is parsed at import time, not runtime. You will need to make changes to the internal setup inside __init__, since it's per-instance changes. > > #views.py > def my_action(request): > credit_app_form = CreditApplicationForm(LANGUAGE_CODE) Since the first positional argument to a form is not the language code, this will almost certainly fail. If you're extending a parent class, it's usually a lot better to use keyword arguments. Then pop your keyword arguments from **kwargs before passing the result to the super() method.
