Mouseover help for user settings items per page is not translatable

[Doug Fish]

When Editing user settings [username]->Settings the help mouseover value "Number of items to show per page (..." is not shown as translated.

This failure can be seen in the Pseudo translation tool if it's patched with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/298379/

and can also be seen in Japanese. Note that the segment is translated, but not displayed in Horizon:
https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/stable/mitaka/openstack_dashboard/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L5832
and
https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/master/openstack_dashboard/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L5835

I've observed that the translation seems to work correctly if the string formatting is not used (that is, if the %s and related % max_value are removed)

My concern is this line in Django
https://github.com/django/django/blob/53ccffdb8c8e47a4d4304df453d8c79a9be295ab/django/forms/forms.py#L211

My unconfirmed suspicion is that force_text is causing an early resolution of the string when the class is first defined, rather than keeping the lazy translation object and parameters so the proper string can be computed at a later time.

I find the translation happening. What exactly is the bug?
Can somebody paste a screeshot if possible?

The upper side is this issue.
The lower side is no problem. The help message of the number of page size only have a issue.

    Fix the issue help_text is not translated in User Setting

    help message at the field of number of page size is not tranlated.
    When we define any form field, it seems that translation does not
    work well if help_text has any variable.
    This patch will fix it.
