Hi George,

You'll need to use the newer boilerplate (I am running zope 3.3.0 FYI):

from zope.i18n import MessageFactory
_ = MessageFactory("translationdomain")

This can be found here:  

http://kpug.zwiki.org/WhatIsNewInZope33

See section 7 Porting to Zope 3.3.0 

There is other useful information on how to deal with
the other areas of the book which are slightly out of
date as well.

My thanks to the author, as a purchaser of the book, it
has been a great help in what has been an extremely steep
learning curve.  Any free upgrades to the second ed. if I 
show my receipt? ;-)
