1 year ago wagtail-localize tries to auto-detect the various fields as described in https://www.wagtail-localize.org/concept/translatable-fields-autogen/. A key inclusion factor is that the model needs to inherit from TranslatableMixin
This looks similar to https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail-localize/blob/main/wagtail_localize/test/models.py#L402. Except your ContactPersonOrderable is not inheriting from TranslatableMixin.
If even after updating the inheritance pattern it doesn't pick up things properly, try setting the translatable_fields attribute?
e.g. https://github.com/unreadableusername/wagtail-localize-orderables/blob/main/home/models.py#L7-L9 to become
class ContactPersonOrderable(TranslatableMixin, Orderable):
page = ParentalKey('home.HomePage', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='contact_persons')
person = models.ForeignKey('app_custom_models.ContactPerson', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='+')
translatable_fields = [TranslatableField("person")]and potentially
# ...
class HomePage(Page):
# ...
translatable_fields = [TranslatableField("contact_persons")]

The issue
When binding a custom model to a page with the Orderable recipe, it is not translatable.
I created a repository with demonstration code for easy reproduction here: GitHub Repo If more or detailed information is needed just let me know - happy to help :)
Demonstration project
The example project contains a
app_custom_modelsapp that implements one snippet for aContactPersonThe default Wagtail
homeapp has been modified to hold orderables.The editing interface of the home page
When switching to the English editing interface, the orderables are not shown for translation:
Expected behavior
Expected behavior is for the orderables to show as translatable along with their segments, like its the case for translating snippets in a FieldPanel which embedds a single snippet into a page wagtail-localize documentation
