def add_translation(name,locale,value)
  if tr = find_translation(name,locale)
    tr.value = value.to_s
  else
    tr = translations.build(:translated => self, :name => name.to_s, :locale => locale.to_s, :value => value.to_s)
  end
  tr
end

#insert_translations(locales = {}) ⇒ Object

convenience method to accept a Hash containing the translations for multiple columns and locales. locales must have the locales as keys and its value is another Hash of name-value pairs. Example:

@article.insert_translations(
     { 'en' => { 'title'    => "What's new this week",
                 'synopsis' => "Learn what has happened this week in our little world"},
       'fr' => { 'title'    => "Quoi de neuf cette semaine",
                 'synopsis' => "Apprenez tout sur ce qui s'est passé cette semaine dans notre petit monde" }

If you have user-generated content, for example, you can quickly create a form to edit the translatable content as follows: in the view:

<label>Title in English</label>
<%= text_field 'translations[en][title]', @article.translate('title','en') %>
<label>Title in French</label>
<%= text_field 'translations[fr][title]', @article.translate('title','fr') %>

in the controller:

def update

...
@article.insert_translations(params['translations'])
@article.save

end

make sure your content is sanitized!
