I am using Django model translation for the multi-linguistic site(English(default), Arabic, French), the problem is when saving data in django admin default overrides both Arabic and French translation fields. But in database actual value presents.

My Model: plan/models.py


class operators(models.Model):
    country = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    operator = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
    image = models.ImageField(verbose_name=_('Operator Logo'), max_length=255,null=True,blank=True)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Operator'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Operators'
        db_table = 'operator'

    def __str__(self):
        return self.operator

plan/translation.py:

@register(operators)
class OperatorsTranslationOptions(TranslationOptions):
    fields = ('operator',)

plan/admin.py:

class OperatorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('operator', 'country')
.
.
.
admin.site.register(operators, OperatorAdmin)

settings.py:


INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'modeltranslation',
.
.
.
'plan',

]
.
.
.
LANGUAGES = (
    ('en', gettext('English')),
    ('ar', gettext('Arabic')),
    ('fr', gettext('French')),

)
.
.
MODELTRANSLATION_TRANSLATION_FILES = (

    'plan.translation',


)
MODELTRANSLATION_DEBUG = True

Below is the database value

planbaker=# select * from operator;
 id |  operator  |         image         | country_id | operator_ar  | operator_en | operator_fr 
----+------------+-----------------------+------------+--------------+-------------+-------------
  1 | airtel-ind | pb_Zu2y9BE.jpeg       |          1 |              |             | 
  3 | aircel     | 360_360_1_vsXSDEo.JPG |          2 | ايرتل        | aircel      | 
  2 | aircel-sa  | 352_hQ4TZVq.jpeg      |          2 | زين السعودية | aircel-sa   | aircel-sa

But in Admin all the field have operator value only in english . Can somebody please tell me where i went wrong? I tried both updte_translation_fields and sync_translation_fields but not helping

Try using modeltranslation.admin.TranslationAdmin instead of ModelAdmin for your OperatorAdmin class.

In order to be able to edit the translations via the django.contrib.admin application you need to register a special admin class for the translated models. The admin class must derive from modeltranslation.admin.TranslationAdmin which does some funky patching on all your models registered for translation.
