Language are correctly modelized but actually not fully functionally implemented.

We need some helpers to add translation for enabled language, preselect original object and navigation.

Ideas:

[x] Add contextual language navigation in detail views, such as an object with translation or an original should have language relation links in detail. Keep the main menu language switcher unchanged (returning to home);
[x] User should be able to duplicate an original article to translate it, easily and without to create it from zero each time;
[x] Helper link in edit admin view to go to other item translation when there at least one translation or original ?
[x] Improve lotus_demo management command to create translations for each enabled languages;

To help to translate article quickly:

Add a button "Translate" on change form;
This button happen on both original and translation article;
From an original article, the next form will just use the original;
From a translation article, it will find the translation original and use it;
It leads to a form which propose a language choice to translate to;
Once submitted this lead to a create form pre filled with language and original values, user will have to fill all other field itself, no duplication of content here to ease writing;
This needs some validation to avoid trying to create a translation with a language which already exist for targeted original (even the model constraint should allow it finally);

Tasks from previous commit have been done for article model admin. Now it still needs:

"Translate" button in change form is always showed even when there is no more available language to translate;
Test to cover admin improvements;
Port these improvements to category;

Almost all tasks from previous commit have been done. Now it still needs:

Port to Category;
Category detail miss the language menu alike for Article;
Not related to siblings but the language filter which default on default language seems wrong an unpractical;

Tasks from previous commit have been done except the one with index filter to disable.
