Realistically, you don't want to be using rhpl.translate in revisor
either.  You want to be using python's native gettext module.
rhpl.translate was created when python's gettext module was awful (to be
kind :-).

And I'd really rather _not_ apply something that I know is deprecated
and going to go away in the future.  The difference should mostly be
switching to import gettext instead of rhpl.translate and then using _ =
gettext.gettext.

/me makes a note to make rhpl.translate start spewing deprecation
warnings soon...
