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.

### Usage
Getting a translation for an existing instance:
:::php
$translatedObj = Translatable::get_one_by_locale('MyObject', 'de_DE');
```php
$translatedObj = Translatable::get_one_by_locale('MyObject', 'de_DE');
```
Getting a translation for an existing instance:
:::php
$obj = DataObject::get_by_id('MyObject', 99); // original language
$translatedObj = $obj->getTranslation('de_DE');
```php
$obj = DataObject::get_by_id('MyObject', 99); // original language
$translatedObj = $obj->getTranslation('de_DE');
```
Getting translations through Translatable::set_reading_locale().
This is *not* a recommended approach, but sometimes unavoidable (e.g. for `[api:Versioned]` methods).
:::php
$origLocale = Translatable::get_reading_locale();
Translatable::set_reading_locale('de_DE');
$obj = Versioned::get_one_by_stage('MyObject', "ID = 99");
Translatable::set_reading_locale($origLocale);
```php
$origLocale = Translatable::get_reading_locale();
Translatable::set_reading_locale('de_DE');
$obj = Versioned::get_one_by_stage('MyObject', "ID = 99");
Translatable::set_reading_locale($origLocale);
```
Creating a translation:
:::php
$obj = new MyObject();
$translatedObj = $obj->createTranslation('de_DE');
```php
$obj = new MyObject();
$translatedObj = $obj->createTranslation('de_DE');
