ActiveRecord model used to store actual translations to the database.
This model expects a table like the following to be already set up in your the database:
create_table :translations do |t| t.string :locale t.string :key t.text :value t.text :interpolations t.boolean :is_proc, :default => false end
This model supports to named scopes :locale and :lookup. The :locale scope simply adds a condition for a given locale:
I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Translation.locale(:en).all # => all translation records that belong to the :en locale
The :lookup scope adds a condition for looking up all translations that either start with the given keys (joined by an optionally given separator or I18n.default_separator) or that exactly have this key.
# with translations present for :"foo.bar" and :"foo.baz" I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Translation.lookup(:foo) # => an array with both translation records :"foo.bar" and :"foo.baz" I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Translation.lookup([:foo, :bar]) I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Translation.lookup(:"foo.bar") # => an array with the translation record :"foo.bar"
When the StoreProcs module was mixed into this model then Procs will be stored to the database as Ruby code and evaluated when :value is called.
Translation = I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Translation Translation.create # :locale => 'en' :key => 'foo' :value => lambda { |key, options| 'FOO' } Translation.find_by_locale_and_key('en', 'foo').value # => 'FOO'
