Translation model through association not always loaded

Hi,

There is an issue that randomly happens in the method

    def store_translated_attributes
      return true unless @translated_attributes_changed
      translations.delete_all
      @translated_attributes.each do |locale, attributes|
        attributes.each do |attribute, value|
          next if value.blank?
          next unless self.class.translated_attributes_options[:fields].include? attribute.to_sym
          translations.create!(translated_attributes_options[:attribute_column] => attribute, :text=>value, :language=>locale)
        end
      end
      @translated_attributes_changed = false
      true
    end

the line

          translations.create!(translated_attributes_options[:attribute_column] => attribute, :text=>value, :language=>locale)

throws the error

unknown attribute: attribute

This seems to be because the translation model through the association is not loaded yet. Doing a

translations.new

fixes the problem.

So could I suggest a fix like this

          translation = translations.new
          translation.attributes = {translated_attributes_options[:attribute_column] => attribute, :text => value, :language => locale}
          translation.save!

This solves the problem by doing the load of the model through the association and stops the error from happening.

If you have a better idea of how to fix this could you let me know, or even better implement it so I could do a pull of the new code?

Thanks
