python - Django forms.py initialized wrongly? -

i have django view communicate user's preferred locale form in forms.py. however, form seems initialized before call it.

class surveyform() seems load before call views.py , before surveyforms() init function becomes active.

here code:

class surveyform(forms.form):     questions = question.objects.all()     q1 = questions.get(identifier='q1')     question1 = forms.charfield(required=false, label=q1.name)      def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):         translation.activate('nl') 

when put translation.activate('nl') in surveyform class, work. when put translation.activate('nl') in __init__, or in views.py, not work. how can changed?

note: use modeltranslation, q1.name dutch translation when dutch language active.

anything @ class level executed when class defined, on first import. know how things @ instantation time - doing in __init__ method.

it's not clear question q1 is. field? if can add self.fields; otherwise set directly on self.

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):     translation.activate('nl')     super(surveyform, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)     self.fields['q1'] = ...     # or     self.q1 = ...
