Understanding the Error

Why This Happens

In Django 3.0, the functions ugettext_lazy, ugettext, and their counterparts were deprecated. These have been replaced by gettext_lazy and gettext to align more closely with Python's standard library internationalization (i18n) functions.

How to Fix It

The solution involves updating your import statements to use the new functions. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolve the error:
