Is django-hvad dead?

[mapeal2]

Hi there!

I'd like to ask you whether there's any plan in the forseeable future to migrate django-hvad to the current LTS Django version. I think it's an awesome package, and I'd like to help migrating it, but I don't have enough skills yet.

Thanks in advance.

@KristianOellegaard how are you?

Hello,
The project is looking for a maintainer.
Kristian did it for a long time, then I took over, but my obligations no longer allows me to maintain it.

• For the record, the major pain point was a set of changes in Django2.0 that made the core features of django-hvad impossible to port.
• Those were progressively fixed over the next minor releases, it should be possible to adapt django-hvad now, but that remains a non-trivial effort.

Is this package dead now? Is there a fork or something else we might use?

django-parler might be your best bet. https://github.com/django-parler/django-parler
