Set language of PasswordResetForm in Django?

Question

I am manually resetting passwords but wonder how to set the language to the user's language instead of my own. I see there are many extra context fields but which one needs to be set?

for user in qs:
    reset_form = PasswordResetForm({'email': user.email})
    # reset_form.language?
    assert reset_form.is_valid()
    reset_form.save(request=request)

I have added a field CustomUser.language which would be available in user.language above.

(While phrasing my question and looking for possibilities I found a working solution.)

I came to the following solution, by setting the current language (session-wise) temporarily to the user's language:

from django.utils import translation

temp_language = translation.get_language_from_request(request)
for user in qs:
    translation.activate(user.language)
    request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()
    reset_form = PasswordResetForm({'email': user.email})
    assert reset_form.is_valid()
    reset_form.save(request=request)

    translation.deactivate()
translation.activate(temp_language)
request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()

Instead of `activate` and `deactivate` you can also use `with translation.override(user.language)`. – Igor Jerosimić Aug 12 '20 at 08:19
