+ """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. It won't be declarative, but it will have a
+ `__table__` attribute so you can retrieve the Table object.
+
+ `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, 'bars',
+ 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.bars_local))
+ q.options(joinedload(Foo.bars))
+
+ The following properties are added to the passed class:
+
+ - `(relation_name)`, 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.
+ - `(relation_name)_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.
