Module: MongoTranslatable::Translated

Defined in:
lib/mongo_translatable.rb

Overview

MongoTranslatable is for taking advantage of MongoDB for storing translations of ActiveRecord models. Here is how it works in practice:

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  mongo_translate :label
end

I18n.locale = :en

item = Item.create(:label => "a label")
p item.locale
"en"

item = Item.find(1)
p item.label
"a label"

item.translate(:label => "etiketissä", :locale => :fi).save

or you could have set I18n.locale = :fi in calling env and dropped locale from args

I18n.locale = :fi
item = Item.find(1)
p item.label
"etiketissä"
p item.locale
"fi"

If The general approach is inspired by this code in globalize2: github.com/joshmh/globalize2/blob/master/lib/globalize/active_record.rb grab what the normal finder would return and look up corresponding translated version of the objects in question swap in corresponding translated attributes of object creates TranslatableClass::Translation when the declaration method is defined ala acts_as_versioned VersionedClass::Version every translatable class gets their own Translation class under it

TODO: translations aren’t real associations and the translations method is thus not chainable as you would expect currently investigating adding a plugin for mongo_mapper that will do associations declaired from activerecord models in the meantime, you will like want to use the “translation_for(locale)” method
