    model = Translation
    extra = 1

class TranslatableAdmin(TranslatableAdminMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    """The admin which represents the `Translatable` instances."""

    def get_inline_instances(self, request, obj=None):
        inlines = list(
            super(TranslatableAdmin, self).get_inline_instances(request, obj)
        )
        self.prepare_translation_inlines(inlines, TranslationInline)
        return inlines
