Admin panel to translate Rails apps with I18n::Backend::KeyValue stores.
Warning : Only PostgreSQL is supported due to HSTORE field type usage to store translations
It works by creating a I18n backend chain and plugging a custom backend before the original YAML backend.
When you translate a key, it is stored in a HSTORE field, with one database
row per locale. This allows for fast translations fetching on request start.
The translations are then merged with the ones existing in the YAML, and cached for the request duration using the RequestStore gem.
Add to your Gemfile and bundle :
gem 'i18n_admin', github: 'glyph-fr/i18n_admin'
Run the install generator which will mount the engine and create an initializer template to configure the gem, and create necessary migration :
rails generate i18n_admin:install
I18nAdmin gives you an admin panel to translate your static contents. It's accessible at the Engine mount point that you choosed when running the install generator.
The default URL is /i18n-admin
To plug the engine with your authentication system, you can pass a method
name to execute in a before_action filter in the I18nAdmin controllers.
This can be done in the initializer file generated at
config/initializers/i18n_admin.rb :
I18nAdmin.config do |config|
config.authentication_method = :authenticate_user!
end
To avoid some keys to be displayed in the translation admin, you can use a Regex in the initializer file. The regex is matched against the whole key path (e.g. "time.formats.short")
I18nAdmin.config do |config|
# Exclude all date and time formats from translations
config.excluded_keys_pattern = /^(date|time)/
end
The locale is defined from the rails' I18n.locale, which is automatically
added in the <html> tag lang attribute.
The JS app then taps into this locale to set its default locale and allow displaying side-by-side the content with the default locale and the current locale's translation for the key
