migrating to Django 1.11 django-hvad error

Question

I'm new to Django. Trying to migrate from django==1.8.5 to 1.11
django-hvad package is essential for me, however, when upgraded to django==1.10, it throws the assertion error about the Django version.

My project is actually a single-page website, so it is not a big hassle to remove django-hvad and use something else. That is my question therefore, what steps are better to take:

(1) try to use another "app" for model translation, as in: https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/model-translation/ (however, as I see, only one package supports Django1.10 there).

(2) Or maybe Django has a native model translation option which I should use.

(3) another option

The strange thing also is that https://django-hvad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html indicates that django1.9 is the last supported version, but in GitHub page https://github.com/kristianoellegaard/django-hvad it is written that django 1.10 as well as django 1.11 are supported.

Please indicate what more information is needed, I will try to provide.

My pip freeze output:

Django==1.10
django-appconf==1.0.2
django-compressor==2.2
django-filebrowser-no-grappelli==3.7.4
django-geoposition==0.3.0

django-jquery==3.1.0
django-libsass==0.7
django-ordered-model==1.4.3

Usage of django-hvad (example):

from hvad.models import TranslatableModel, TranslatedFields

class SliderBox(TranslatableModel, OrderedModel):

translations = TranslatedFields(
    image = FileBrowseField(
            "Image",
            max_length=200,
            directory="uploads/",
            extensions=[".png", ".jpg"],
            blank=True,
            null=True
    ),
    text = models.CharField(max_length=200),
)
