A2lix TranslationFormBundle - Gedmo Doctrine Extension - Unwanted form fields - forms

Question

I am trying to build forms for translatable entities but i get 4 form fields that i don't want.
It seems these fields are coming from the Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\MappedSuperclass\AbstractTranslation but i wonder what i need to do with these fields ?
Is it normal that they are appearing in the translation form ?
If someone have usefull examples that would be great.
It's a Symfony2 project.
Doctrine extensions are installed with stof:

I've finally succeeded in displaying the correct fields.
You have to downgrade the a2lix form bundle to version 1.4.
In fact, in version 2.0, the field type "a2lix_translations_gedmo" is no more available, which is actually what you need when using Gedmo Translatable.
There's nothing to change on your entity side. Just follow the doc for the config.yml, and use "a2lix_translations_gedmo" in your PageType :
$builder->add('translations', 'a2lix_translations_gedmo', array(
'translatable_class' => "Syms\PageBundle\Entity\Page"
);
I've also red somewhere that you can keep using version 2.0 of a2lix Form Bundle, but in this case you have to use a specific branch of doctrine extensions (wip-v2.4.0).
