Anybody who can help with a step by step howto in using globalize... I followed this example: http://globalize-rails.org/wiki/pages/example First I''ve created the database for use in my application: CREATE TABLE `products` ( `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(12) NOT NULL default '''', `type` enum(''Brace'',''Belt'',''Belt SoB'') default NULL, `collection` tinyint(3) unsigned default NULL, `statistics` tinyint(3) unsigned default NULL, `quality` enum(''One layer grain'',''One layer split'',''Grain lined with grain'',''Split lined with split'',''Grain lined with split'') default NULL, `sizes` set(''85'',''90'',''95'',''100'',''105'',''110'',''115'',''120'',''130'',''140'',''150'',''160'') default NULL, `description` text NOT NULL, `comment` text NOT NULL, `image` blob, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`), KEY `id_2` USING BTREE (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB; Then I used a "script/generate scaffold product" to generate a general template for my beginners application. Now the description field in the database products should be available in 3 or more languages. So I found that using Globalize would be a nice idea. Then I edited the app/models/product.rb file to be: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base translates :description end then I used the script/plugin install http://svn.globalize-rails.org/svn/globalize/globalize/trunk and script/generate globalize tiny rake migrate a lot of stuff happened in my mysql database, but know the question is how to use the globalize plugin. They give a test-class in the example given, but I don''t really gain any knowledge from that. Anybody who can help how to get my "description" multiple language available - how should the controller look like and how should the view be handled? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
