Manage i18n content in the area between .po-files and flatpages

Question

I have a django project utilizing flatpages for pages with primarily static content and .po-files for shorter strings, headers, buttons etc. But I'm having trouble exploring alternatives for the block of content that a customer would want to edit themselves through the admin or a customized form that I can include in templates?

I have thought about taking a CMS approach based on existing framework but because the project works great without cms-functionality for maybe 90 % of the content I do not wanna go this way, for now.

My first idea is to create a own model 'text_blocks' and use something like django-modeltranslation and populate the views context with the correct objects.

My question is first if the approach above seems reasonable but primarily what alternatives for managing this type of content am I missing.

Answer 1

After running my custom solution with my own app and django-modeltranslation for a while I stumbled on django-page-cms which seems to make it even simplier for customer admin users to edit pages.
