I love this. It means the customers are involved and taking ownership. I
think it is worthwhile making it a feature of all/most apps. It could
even be built into Django one day.

It probably means building a special app to let customers enter their
own terms for certain fields. The app would need to store such terms in
the database or ini files. Not sure how you might do it but I'd probably
look at overriding verbose_name. Might bypass the usual translations
because the customer probably supplies the correct language as well.

def get_verbose_name(obj, field=None):

    if field is None:

        return obj.__class__()._meta.verbose_name

    try:

        return obj.__class__()._meta.get_field("{0}".format(field)).verbose_name

    except FieldDoesNotExist:

        return None



It needs to include drop-down lists too.

def choose(choices, choice):

    # this demands that choices is exactly as Django specifies

    for pair in choices:

        if pair[0] == choice:

            return pair[1]

    for option in choices:

        for pair in option[1]:

            if pair[0] == choice:

                return pair[1]



Please keep us posted with your solution. It is a brilliant use-case.

Cheers

Mike
