Fixes: #21175

This PR replaces gettext() with gettext_lazy() in core/data.py so translated validator/validation messages are not evaluated at import time.
This prevents locale-dependent model serialization, which can lead Django to report false-positive “pending migration” warnings when DEFAULT_LANGUAGE is set to a non-English locale.

It also updates one missing ValidationError message to be properly translatable and safe to format.
