+
+By default, the fields in a ``ModelForm`` will not localize their data. To
+enable localization for fields, you can use the ``localized_fields``
+attribute on the ``Meta`` class.

+    >>> class AuthorForm(ModelForm):

+
+If ``localized_fields`` is set to the special value ``'__all__'``, all fields
+will be localized.
