Django forms Customising model form field labels

I'm trying to customise the label for a django model form:

class SupplyTypeForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = EUser
        fields = ('service_type', 'online_account')
        labels = {
            'online_account': _('Do you have an online account with any of your suppliers'),
        }

But I get the error: NameError: name '_' is not defined

However the django docs mention to do it this way, so I'm not clear what's wrong (the underscore is strange and I'm not sure why it is being used here). If I remove it works and the error disappears

Any reason why the docs have it: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-fields

You need to make sure you have the correct import:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

You should add from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _ to use _()
