-The plural-name property (e.g. Pokemon.names) is a language-to-name dictionary:
-  bulbasaur.names['en'] == "Bulbasaur" and bulbasaur.names['de'] == "Bisasam".
-  You can use Pokemon.names['en'] to filter a query.
-The singular-name property returns the name in the default language, English.
-  For example bulbasaur.name == "Bulbasaur"
-  Setting pokedex.db.tables.default_lang changes the default language.

-    """Creates a table that represents some kind of data attached to the given
-    foreign class, but translated across several languages.  Returns the new
-    table's mapped class.
-TODO give it a __table__ or __init__?
-
-    `foreign_class` must have a `__singlename__`, currently only used to create
-    the name of the foreign key column.
-TODO remove this requirement
-
-    Also supports the notion of a default language, which is attached to the
-    session.  This is English by default, for historical and practical reasons.
-
-    Usage looks like this:
-
-        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.
