-- foreign: If set, the column contains foreign (non-English) text.
 
+A localizable text column is visible as two properties:
+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.

+    _language_class=Language, **kwargs):
+    """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.
