monglobal

This is a Rails plugin for MongoMapper that allows you to translate your models in a way that is similar to the Globalize gem for ActiveRecord.

After heading down this path for several days I found https://github.com/ahe/mongo_translation and decided I like their implimentation of the klass better but it needed a few changes to make it easier to use from a rails controller.

USAGE: First add to your Gemfile gem 'monglobal'

Then run bundle install

Then in your model:

class Post

include MongoMapper::Document
include Monglobal

translates :title, :body

key :title,       String
key :body,        String

end

Now your controller is pretty much the same with one difference to how you update a record. Instead of using update_attributes use this on your update method.

def create post = Post.new(params[:post]) if post.save redirect_to translate_posts_path(params[:locale]) end end

def update post = Post.find(params[:id]) post.update_translation(params[:locale], params[:post]) redirect_to translate_posts_path(params[:locale]) end

The sample app here might help with some of the details of switching the locale and setting up the default locale.
