I've got something but it's homemade. I give you the idea and will let you implement it, I guess:
1 class Article extends TranslatedModel {
2 static $has_many = array(
3 array('translations', 'class_name' => 'ArticleTranslation'),
4 );
5 static $translated_attributes = array(
6 array('title'),
7 array('description'),
8 array('content'),
9 );
10 }
11 class ArticleTranslation extends Model {
12 static $belongs_to = array(
13 array('article'),
14 array('language'),
15 );
16 }
17
18 $article = new Article(array(
19 'title_en' => 'Title',
20 'title_fr' => 'Titre',
21 'title_de' => 'Titel',
22 ));
I have implemented my own ActiveRecord a while ago and there the i18n was handled by making instance of a different class and defining a boolean for language mirroring (for example if the french and english site local version has different number of articles based on current lang or the same with translations).
1 class Article extends ActiveRecord\ModelI18n {
2 protected $has_mirror = true;
3 }
This week I'll look at the code and try to implement/port the ModelI18n class.

Hi!
I am also working on this but I'm quite new to php-AR. Yoan, care to give some guidelines on your implementation? I will be working on this in the following days.
In my particular case, I'm using the whole locale (e.g. en_US) instead of just the language part.
Also, I would like to access the Article in your example in the following way.
1 $article->title->en_us
2 $article->content->fr_fr
3 ...
I think it could be a great contribution to the project!

Subject: phpactiverecord and i18n
How i18n with additional table with translated columns can be achieved in phpactiverecord?
Example table setup:
articles { id, created_at, is_active } and articles_i18n { article_id, lang_id, title, description, content }
