Description

Why does Django make it that hard to have translated database contents? And what solutions are there to make it easier? And how can Django make multilingual database contents less of a pain?

Abstract

Multilingual database contents is not an easy thing to accomplish in Django. While there are many projects out there helping you with this, they all have their good and bad sides. The reason for this is that Django does not really help a lot in this area. There are things though, Django could do to make this easier and for some use cases, the existing solutions are actually good enough. I would like to share my knowledge and experience in this field, having developed almost exclusively multilingual websites and having developed two projects to make this easier in Django.
