+ class Foo(Base): ...
+
+ create_translation_table('foo_bars', Foo,
+ name = Column(...),
+ )
+
+ # Now you can do the following:
+ foo.name
+ foo.name_map['en']
+ foo.foo_bars['en']
+
+ foo.name_map['en'] = "new name"
+ del foo.name_map['en']
+
+ q.options(joinedload(Foo.default_translation))
+ q.options(joinedload(Foo.foo_bars))
+
+ In the above example, the following attributes are added to Foo:
+
+ - `foo_bars`, a relation to the new table. It uses a dict-based collection
+ class, where the keys are language identifiers and the values are rows in
+ the created tables.
+ - `foo_bars_local`, a relation to the row in the new table that matches the
+ current default language.
+
+ Note that these are distinct relations. Even though the former necessarily
+ includes the latter, SQLAlchemy doesn't treat them as linked; loading one
+ will not load the other. Modifying both within the same transaction has
+ undefined behavior.
+
+ For each column provided, the following additional attributes are added to
+ Foo:
+
+ - `(column)_map`, an association proxy onto `foo_bars`.
+ - `(column)`, an association proxy onto `foo_bars_local`.
+
+ Pardon the naming disparity, but the grammar suffers otherwise.
+
+ Modifying these directly is not likely to be a good idea.
