Change the DB structure - use a table for translation #184

Instead of serializing data why not creating a new table for translatable field for each content type?

I personally things at least a DB structure than allow translation should be supported in core and opened the discussion their : https://discuss.bolt.cm/d/474-multi-language-roadmap/2 . But this plugin can be a great way to experiment.

Well, at the outset of this one of the goals were to not have to change the db structure when adding a field as translatable, so that restricted the implementation. We have also had a number of problems that don't fit neatly into that model like repeaters, blocks, templatefields and even worse stuff like repeaters-in-templatefields.

My work on this extension came out of necessity, so it's not at all nice-and-tidy. If you feel like improving it either just submit a PR or talk to me or bob (or wait for bolt v4, since it'll probably be easier to have a proper solution there).

Yeah, I understand Bolt a bit more now and you choices make sens. I think any big change should wait the next version of Bolt. Apparently they are going to change the data structure.
