Rails - May 2006 - Globalize howto

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
