Autoslug tries to populate localized AutoSlugField that is not mark as translatable by modeltranslation

[Timothée Mazzucotelli]

You can see in the following code that the slug is populated from title, which is localized, but the slug itself is NOT localized:

# models.py

class Question(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    description = models.TextField()

    slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from='title', always_update=True, unique=True)

# translation.py

class QTranslation(TranslationOptions):
    fields = ('title', 'description')

translator.register(Question, QTranslation)

Now if you try to create a Question, autoslug fails because it tries to get the field slug_en_us, which does not exist...

• django 1.7.7
• autoslug 1.8.0
• modeltranslation 0.9.1

I have same issue, Django 1.8.2, modeltranslation 0.9.1 and django-autoslug 1.8.0. As workaround, you can subclass AutoSlugField:

########################
# File: your_app/fields.py
########################

from autoslug import AutoSlugField

class NoModelTranslationAutoSlugField(AutoSlugField):
    @staticmethod
    def modeltranslation_update_slugs(sender, **kwargs):
        return None

########################
# File: your_app/models.py
########################

from your_app.fields import NoModelTranslationAutoSlugField

class Foo(models.Model):
    slug = NoModelTranslationAutoSlugField(populate_from='name', max_length=255, unique=True, db_index=True, always_update=True)

    # ....

Hmmm good idea, this way I can use the latest version, thank you :)

Seems to be resolved. Will be published as 1.9.
