This is an answer for the less clever ones (like me): Be sure to check the obvious: The error message says: ... Check that you don't make non-lazy gettext calls at import time. So, if you use django's translation in the verbose_name of a model field or on any other part that is evaluated at import time, you need to use the *_lazy version. If not, you'll end up with the error the OP had.

I basically had:

from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import gettext as _
import datetime
# other things

class myModle(models.Model):
    date = models.DateField(_('Date'), default=datetime.date.today)
    # other defs. and things

And got the same error as the OP, but my wsgi config was fine.

All I had to do was replacing gettext with gettext_lazy (or ugettext with ugettext_lazy) and everything was fine.
