Translation

Overview

We can convert certain keys to the language the application needs.

Installation

rails generate 'i18n:active_record:install'

Usage

• Create a migration to add a column for locale for the user.

class AddLocaleToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.2]
  def change
    add_column :users, :locale, :string, default: 'en'
  end
end

• Add the following line to the config/initializers/i18n_active_record.rb file.

require 'i18n/backend/active_record'
I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord.new

I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord.configure do |config|
  config.cache_translations = true # defaults to false
  # config.cleanup_with_destroy = true # defaults to false
  config.scope = 'cm_admin' # defaults to nil, won't be used
end

• We can create a translation by going to /cm_admin/translations.
