Only after implementation :) Keep in mind, that not only the database
API of Django has to be modified, but also the administration
interface, if we stuck at this solution.
By the way, I forgot to set language in the WHERE clause of my
example, but that makes no big difference for imagining what I had in
mind:
SELECT * FROM myapp_mymodel mm INNER JOIN myapp_mymodel_translatable mmt ON
mm.id = mmt.id WHERE mmt.language = 'EN' ORDER BY title
And also perhaps we need a separate branch for implementation of
multilingual modelling.
