Constructing the translations model manually

It’s also possible to create the translated fields model manually:

from django.db import models
from parler.models import TranslatableModel, TranslatedFieldsModel
from parler.fields import TranslatedField


class MyModel(TranslatableModel):
    title = TranslatedField()  # Optional, explicitly mention the field

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _("MyModel")

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title


class MyModelTranslation(TranslatedFieldsModel):
    master = models.ForeignKey(MyModel, related_name='translations', null=True)
    title = models.CharField(_("Title"), max_length=200)

    class Meta:
        unique_together = ('language_code', 'master')
        verbose_name = _("MyModel translation")

This has the same effect, but also allows to to override the save() method, or add new methods yourself.
