django modeltranslation - default field?

Question

Django's modeltranslation app is generally a fantastic tool for internationalization. There is, however, one thing that bugs me. When I define my set of languages, modeltranslation generates n fields, one per language. The problem is, I end up with a redundant field (my default language is english).

So I have:

field field_en field_fr field_jp

And field == field_en. Am I misusing modeltranslation, or is there some way to fix this?

EDIT: So to clarify, I'd like to get rid of either field or field_en.

I think you missed the Rules for translated field access in docs, and if you want to remove the main field in admin then see section Django admin backend integration.

And in template file you just have to write the main field like this way

{{obj.field}}

if your current locale is English it will copy the field_en to field and same for the other languages.
