Extend urlpatterns dynamically

I have application app1. It has connected (through INSTALLED_APPS) app2; let's say that app2 is some kind of black-box for me. But I know that app2 in its urls has some number of i18n_patterns.
I need to include all urls from app2 to my app1. And include them at root position: 

urlpatterns = ('',
    (r'', include("app1.urls")),
    (r'', include("app2.urls")),
)

because of i18n_patterns in app2.urls such include will raise
ImproperlyConfigured('Using i18n_patterns in an included URLconf is not allowed.')
source code here

Are there ways to append all the urlpatterns from app2.urls to my urlpatterns without knowing much about them?

For instance, you can from app2.urls import urlpatterns as urlpatterns2 and later in your urls.py at the end do this:

urlpatterns += urlpatterns2
# or maybe: 
# urlpatterns += urlpatterns2[1:] if you don't want to include the initial attribute

This behaves like a normal list concatenation and might work.

Note: This is a bit of hackery to overcome the include limitants. If there is a better way to do this I'll love to know.

Hope this helps!
