python - Django Rest Framework list of dict field -

i'm trying serialize 2 model fields provided list of dicts using django rest framework.

this model.py:

class translation(models.model):     translated_term = models.charfield(max_length=200)     translated_meaning = models.textfield()     language = models.charfield(max_length=200)     vocab = models.foreignkey(vocab, related_name='translates')      def __unicode__(self):             return  '%s: %s' % ( self.language,self.translated_term) 

view.py:

class vocabviewset(viewsets.modelviewset):      queryset = vocab.objects.all()     serializer_class = vocabserializer 

serializer.py:

class vocabserializer(serializers.modelserializer):     ...         translates= serializers.stringrelatedfield(many=true)     ...          class meta:         model = vocab                 fields = (...,'translates',...) 

api result :

{  .....     "translates": [         "en: abyssal zone"     ],  .... } 

my question how set translates list of dicts this:

expected api result:

  {  .....     "translates": [         {en: "abyssal zone"}     ],  .... } 

i'm following docs don't know if write way. tried use serializers.dictfields this:

class translatefield(serializers.dictfield):     child = serializers.charfield()  class vocabserializer(serializers.modelserializer):     term_word = serializers.charfield(source='term.word',read_only=true)     kwdgroup = serializers.stringrelatedfield()     translates = serializers.dictfield(child=serializers.charfield())      class meta:         model = vocab         fields = ('uuid','id','term_word', 'meaning', 'source', 'translates','kwdgroup') 

it occurs:

'relatedmanager' object has no attribute 'items'

i'm having troubles find approach overcome issue. can please give me opinion issue? suggestion great.
