I18n Issues

The base format function and str method are not locale aware. You can use the format method defined in the localemodule for user facing strings but that is deprecated. It is best to use format_string.

Globalyzer will detect this method and report it as an I18n issue. If you have determined that the call is being handled correctly, you can use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
