Possible candidates

django-modeltranslation

https://code.google.com/p/django-modeltranslation/

• has a simple and elegant model registration system
• may not be easy to adapt for to PlaceholderField

simple-translation

https://github.com/fivethreeo/simple-translation

• will require breaking every model in two, for translatable/untranslatable fields - a horrific business.
• known to work with PlaceholderFields (an example in https://github.com/fivethreeo/cmsplugin-blog).

django-nani/django-hvad

https://github.com/ojii/django-nani https://github.com/KristianOellegaard/django-hvad

• requires changes to every model field requiring translation
• more seriously, incompatible with fields on abstract base classes

django-transmeta

http://code.google.com/p/django-transmeta/

• making models translatable looks quite simple

Rejected candidates
