In example 2 your translatable literal is defined and marked-up with
the translation function at the global scope of the module. In these
cases you need to use lazy translations, i.e. ugettext_lazy() instead
of ugettext().

Read the the relevant documentation carefully for the details:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/i18n/translation/#lazy-translation
