Handle fields using TranslateBehavior and being edited in multiple locales at once

Pull request for issue #27 with proper formatting.

I'm pretty sure your changes to _makeUnique() is fetching all records, since $where is never modified.

[redd]

Yes that's right, this is because you can't simply put $model['slugfield'] => $translated_slug in conditions (and _makeUnique() recives translated slug as a param).

[milesj]

Shouldn't you be doing a wildcard search for the original slug, then looping through all the results that have that slug and do the comparison checks?

[redd]

You are right, but any idea how to retrive original slug having translation?

[milesj]

I've never used the TranslateBehavior before, so what does it do to find() exactly?

[redd]

It join's I18n table, but this is a bit complicated: http://api.cakephp.org/2.4/source-class-TranslateBehavior.html#96-188

Also after reciving original and translated content it replaces fields with translated ones: http://api.cakephp.org/2.4/source-class-TranslateBehavior.html#280-325

[redd]

One more thing I've just remembered - you can't simply discover original slug (not translated) from model's table, because TranslateBehavior saves sometimes in model's table translated content (it depends on $model->locale while saving).

In model's table you can have content in many languages (while retriving it's overwritten by data from i18n table). So there is really no default/original value of data.

Hrmm, I'm going to have to setup a test locally to see how this works. Will get back to you on this.
