  • What is the best way to make my website available in multiple languages?

    I18n only handles static content and urls. If you need to have translatable Django models you should take a look at django-parler.

    django-parler uses a different table for the translated objects and creates a new row for every language version of an object and connects them via foreign key and a join which should scale better imho. But it has the downside that it doesn't do a fallback on a per-field basis. So if a model has two translatable fields and only one has some content in the specific language, an object in this language gets created and the other field is empty and does not gets populated with the content from the fallback language (see this issue)
