Using translated slugs in viewsΒΆ

To handle translatable slugs in the DetailView, the TranslatableSlugMixin can be used to make this work smoothly. For example:

class ArticleDetailView(TranslatableSlugMixin, DetailView):
    model = Article
    template_name = 'article/details.html'

The TranslatableSlugMixin makes sure that:

  • The object is fetched in the proper translation.

  • The slug field is read from the translation model, instead of the shared model.

  • Fallback languages are handled.

  • Objects are not accidentally displayed in their fallback slugs, but redirect to the translated slug.
