Translates Django model fields in a `JSONField` using a registration approach.

# Features/requirements

- Uses one PostgreSQL `jsonb`-field per model (via `django.db.models.JSONField`)

- Django 4.2, 5.0 (with their supported python versions)

- PostgreSQL >= 13 and the appropriate `psycopg` version for your Django version

- [Available on pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-modeltrans)

- [Documentation](http://django-modeltrans.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

# Running the tests

`tox`

Running the tests only for the current environment, use `make test`

# 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.
