MagicLocales

Rails gem to help with translations and locale changing. Uses simple locale style like :en or :de .. more complex (en-US) style may follow.

The gem includes a seed file with most common european locales.

Usage

• add gem to your gemfile

  gem "magic_locales"

• run install generator

  rails g magic_locales:install

• check new migration and migrate your database

  bundle exec rake db:migrate

Controller-Helper

• in your application controller:

  include MagicLocaleHelper

  before_action :get_user_language

include MagicLocaleHelper loads in the helper and before_action :get_user_language checks user language (via db-field or accept-language) .. now you can access your users @accept_language.

• locale switch helper (only visible, if more than 1 locale is live)

  <%= render "magic_locales/locale_switch" %>

• helper to show fields for each active language (globalize helper)

  <%= f.globalize_fields_for lc do |g| %>
    # ..
  <% end %>
