A question regarding this:

msg = translate(_(u'msg_translatable', default=u'My translatable message'))

I think zope.i18n.translate assumes there is request.locale variable.
I am not sure where it is set, but it seemed to be missing in some
GetPaid context (translate() uses some magical acquisition behind the
scenes?). As a workaround we called context.translate()

See here:

+        # FIXME: This is an ugly hack that fixes certain strings not
translating since
+        # they're never rendered in template context
+        translate = lambda msg: getSite().translate(msgid=msg,
domain='plonegetpaid')
+
