Doctrine 2 doesn’t have an i18n (internationalization) behaviour in the core anymore like Doctrine 1 had.
But luckily for us, Gediminas Morkevičius build the translatable behavior extension for Doctrine 2. Translatable behavior offers a very handy solution for translating specific record fields in diferent languages. Further more, it loads the translations automatically for a locale currently used, which can be set to a translatable listener on it’s initialization or later for other cases through the Entity itself.
