I18nModelTranslator

Gem that generates i18n model translations for existing models. If you have descriptive column names in english it will generate the following files for your models: config/locales/models/model_name/en.yml. More details can be found on the blog coding-is-art.com:

This is an example outcome:

en:
  activerecord:
    models:
      webinar_presenter:
        one: Webinar presenter
        other: Webinar presenters
    attributes:
      webinar_presenter:
        webinar_id: Webinar
        presenter_email: Presenter email
        presenter_url: Presenter url
        user_id: User
        entry_time: Entry time
        exit_time: Exit time
        screen_name: Screen name
        attended_minutes: Attended minutes

It skips the columns :id, :created_at and :updated_at.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'i18n_model_translator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install i18n_model_translator

Usage

This gem gives you four rake tasks to create the model i18ns:

####Print a specific model i18n. Pass the model name as parameter:

$ rake i18n_model_translator:print_model[model]

####Prints all model (except HABTM) i18ns:

$ rake i18n_model_translator:print_all_models

####Print a specific model i18n directly to the file 'config/locales/models/model_name/en.yml'. Pass the model name as parameter. It will not override existing files:

$ rake i18n_model_translator:print_model_to_file[model]

####Print i18ns for each model directly to the file 'config/locales/models/model_name/en.yml'. It will not override existing files:

$ rake i18n_model_translator:print_all_models_to_file[model]

Attention ZSH Users

You need to escape the [ and ] like this:

$ rake i18n_model_translator:print_model\[model\]
