14 """Creates a table that represents some kind of data attached to the given
15 foreign class, but translated across several languages. Returns the new
16 table's mapped class. It won't be declarative, but it will have a
17 `__table__` attribute so you can retrieve the Table object.
18
19 `foreign_class` must have a `__singlename__`, currently only used to create
20 the name of the foreign key column.
21
22 Also supports the notion of a default language, which is attached to the
23 session. This is English by default, for historical and practical reasons.
24
25 Usage looks like this:
26
27 class Foo(Base): ...
28
29 create_translation_table('foo_bars', Foo, 'bars',
30 name = Column(...),
31 )
32
33 # Now you can do the following:
34 foo.name
35 foo.name_map['en']
36 foo.foo_bars['en']
37
38 foo.name_map['en'] = "new name"
39 del foo.name_map['en']
40
41 q.options(joinedload(Foo.bars_local))
42 q.options(joinedload(Foo.bars))
43
44 The following properties are added to the passed class:
45
46 - `(relation_name)`, a relation to the new table. It uses a dict-based
47 collection class, where the keys are language identifiers and the values
48 are rows in the created tables.
49 - `(relation_name)_local`, a relation to the row in the new table that
50 matches the current default language.
51 - `(relation_name)_class`, the class created by this function.
52
53 Note that these are distinct relations. Even though the former necessarily
54 includes the latter, SQLAlchemy doesn't treat them as linked; loading one
55 will not load the other. Modifying both within the same transaction has
56 undefined behavior.
57
58 For each column provided, the following additional attributes are added to
59 Foo:
60
61 - `(column)_map`, an association proxy onto `foo_bars`.
62 - `(column)`, an association proxy onto `foo_bars_local`.
63
64 Pardon the naming disparity, but the grammar suffers otherwise.
65
66 Modifying these directly is not likely to be a good idea.
