+Generated string
+````````````````
+
+We do not need to mark the translation strings of entities/relations used by a
+particular instance's schema as they are generated automatically. String for
+various actions are also generated.
+
+For exemple the following schema ::
+
+  Class EntityA(EntityType):
+      relationa2b = SubjectRelation('EntityB')
+
+  class EntityB(EntityType):
+      pass
+
+May generate the following message ::
+
+  creating EntityB (EntityA %(linkto)s relation_a2b EntityB)
+
+This message will be used in views of ``EntityA`` for creation of a new
+``EntityB`` with a preset relation ``relation_a2b`` between the current
+``EntityA`` and the new ``EntityB``. The opposite message ::
+
+  creating EntityA (EntityA relation_a2b %(linkto)s EntityA)
+
+Is used for similar creation of an ``EntityA`` from a view of ``EntityB``.
+
+In the translated string you can use ``%(linkto)s`` for reference to the source
+``entity``.
