Where and how should I write translations

Hello,

I can not find in Django documentation a word about translating variables
or strings with variables. I have:

...
<legend>{% trans question_category %}</legend>
...

django-admin.py makemessages creates .po but without a mention about this
template line ({% trans "some text" %} is ok). It is clear, that I have
somehow to specify translation strings in .po file, but when I do it
manually, next django-admin.py makemessages overwrite the .po file.

So, my question is, where and how should I write translation for strings
in variables (or variable in a string)?


Next, I have some strings in initial_data.json fixture, is there a way how
to automatically extract it into .po file while running django-admin.py
makemessages? Or it could extract it from database, it doesn't matter.
Yes, I know, that I should change DB structure and not translate strings
from DB this way, but I have my reasons why I am doing it so.

Thanks,
Martin
