How many ? Three or two dozen ?

If you have no more than 2 or 3 languages to support, django-
transmetta has been an easy-working solution for us so far. Now I
don't think it would scale that well with too many languages -
depending on your model, it might add way too many fields to the
underlying table. In this case you may prefer another solution using
distinct rows for the translated versions (there are quite few django
apps doing this one way or another).

Because i18n is definitly not a simple problem, so there's no good one-
size-fits-all solution. The "right" strategy depends too much on your
specific application and needs.
