The PK for table 2 is composite: the serial key from table 1 + the language
id. The table 1 id has to be able to repeat since the same "entity" needs
multiple translations. Using a serial on table 2 is also possible but a
separate issue and probably not worth adding since you need a unique index
on (id_table1, id_lang) regardless.
The question is why isn't there some kind of identifier on table 1 that
gives you some idea of what the id/table record is for?
