django-autocomplete-light and related manager

Question

I need to make fields with autocomplete for my custom forms. It's just a drop-down menu with matched cities, countries etc. I also use django-cities for that. So, I subclassed AutocompleteModelBase. Here, I can declare search_fields attribute with list of fields from model, on which the search will be applied. But what if I want to search not by the fields, but by, for example, info from related managers? In django-cities, there is special related manager for so-called alternative names. It returns queryset with names for some geo object in foreign languages. Something like this: Country.objects.get(code='US').alt_names.filter(language='de')

So, I need to search by the results of such operations. Not by the fields of the model, but by translated names, which don't belong to actually fields. Thanks.

You can use any queryset you want.
