* Please see the {Translatable} DataObjectDecorator for managing translations of database-content.
*
* For the i18n class, a "locale" consists of a language code plus a region code separated by an underscore,
* for example "de_AT" for German language ("de") in the region Austria ("AT").
* See http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ for a detailed description.

* Translatable is compatible with the {@link Versioned} extension.

* <h2>Configuration</h2>
*
* Enabling Translatable in the $extension array of a DataObject
* <example>
* <h3>Through Object::add_extension()</h3>
* Enabling Translatable through {@link Object::add_extension()} in your _config.php:
* <code>
* Object::add_extension('MyClass', 'Translatable');
* </code>
* This is the recommended approach for enabling Translatable.
*
* <h3>Through $extensions</h3>
* <code>
* class MyClass extends DataObject {
* static $extensions = array(
* "Translatable"
* );
* }
* </example>
*
* Enabling Translatable through {@link Object::add_extension()} in your _config.php:
* <example>
* Translatable::set_default_locale('en_US');
* Object::add_extension('MyClass', 'Translatable');
* </example>
* </code>
*
* Make sure to rebuild the database through /dev/build after enabling translatable.
* Use the correct {@link set_default_locale()} before building the database
* for the first time, as this locale will be written on all new records.
*
* <h3>"Default" locales</h3>
*
* Important: If the "default language" of your site is not US-English (en_US),
* please ensure to set the appropriate default language for
* your content before building the database with Translatable enabled:
* <code>
* Translatable::set_default_locale(<locale>); // e.g. 'de_DE' or 'fr_FR'
* </code>
*
* For the Translatable class, a "locale" consists of a language code plus a region code separated by an underscore,
* for example "de_AT" for German language ("de") in the region Austria ("AT").
* See http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ for a detailed description.
