Incompatilbility with django-modeltranslation during tests

[decibyte]

I have a Django project using both django-audit-log and django-modeltranslation.

I've been using the audit log for a while without any issues. Now that I introduced translations, a lot of my tests are blowing up. I'm sure the same would have happened if had introduced audit log after translations, so I'm not blaming any of the projects. I just wish they would both work together. But I'm unfortunately not able to find out what the problem is myself.

A weird thing is that this seems to only be a problem during testing. Everything seems to work as expected when running the project normally. But I want my tests to work as well.

I've created another small example Django project to provide a case for this issue.

The complete output from running tests is here:

$ ./manage.py test

I've also reported the issue for django-modeltranslation.

I found a solution to this problem. It is of course necessary to register the auto generated audit log models for translation as well as the regular models.
