Translator

<img src=“https://travis-ci.org/hzamani/translator.png” />

This is a rails plugin to translate models data.

Requirements

This plugin uses postgres hstore, so postgres is a must.

How to Install

Install the gem

gem install rails-translator

add

gem 'activerecord-postgres-hstore'
gem 'rails-translator'

to your Gemfile and run bundler

bundle install

How to Use

First be sure to install postgres hstore extension, by

rails g hstore:setup
rake db:migrate

Generate your models but use hstore for translatable string and text fields.

rails g model Post title:hstore content:hstore published_at:datatime

optionally add hstore_index for hstore columns:

# migration file
add_hstore_index :posts, :title
add_hstore_index :posts, :content

tell which fields do you want to have translations:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  translates :title, :content
  # ...
end

now post has locale based attribute accessors:

I18n.locale = :en
p = Post.create title: 'first post', content: 'This is my first post.'
I18n.locale = :fa
p.title = ''
