Using protector with globalize

[toxix]

In my project I wold like to save user input in several languages. For this propose I find the Globalize gem (https://github.com/globalize/globalize).

When saving a globalized Model (with name globalized) the database is queried for somthing like this:

INSERT INTO "categories" ("created_at", "name", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?)  [["created_at", Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:01:54 UTC +00:00], ["name", "bal"], ["updated_at", Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:01:54 UTC +00:00]]
INSERT INTO "category_translations" ("category_id", "created_at", "locale", "name", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)  [["category_id", 980190965], ["created_at", Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:01:54 UTC +00:00], ["locale", "en"], ["name", "bal"], ["updated_at", Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:01:54 UTC +00:00]]

Protector does it job like intended and doesn't allow this transaction on a protected model.

Is there any chance to get this two gems working together on a protected model? Or do you know an alternative gem that gives model/data translation and is working with protected models?

Why exactly is this getting prohibited? It doesn't look like globalize adds anything to the model itself but rather simply creates an additional insert. Which error do you get?

[toxix]

I don't get an error. It is just the transaction that fails, don't know why this happens. Maybe you have a hint were I can get the error description witch caused the transaction to rollback? See also below for the console output when trying to create a new record with and without protector.

Envirment to reproduce

gem 'protector', github: 'inossidabile/protector'
gem 'globalize', github: 'globalize/globalize'

rails g scaffold User admin:boolean rails g scaffold Category name:string

cat db/migrate/20140125134555_create_categories.rb

class CreateCategories < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    create_table :categories do |t|
      t.string :name

      t.timestamps
    end
    Category.create_translation_table! name: :string
  end

  def down
    drop_table :cattegories
    Category.drop_translation_table!
  end
end

rake db:migrate

cat app/models/category.rb

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base

  translates :name

  protect do |user, u|
    can :read
    can :update
    can :create
  end
end

Console output
