Attribution
Some concepts and code come from https://github.com/deschler/django-modeltranslation, which is in turn inspired by https://github.com/zmathew/django-linguo
We started this solution at Zostera because we did not like: - The way django-modeltranslation adds one field per language (and thus requires a migration when adding a language); - The unpredictability of the original field.
Since JSONB is supported by Postgres now, we developed this approach.
