Translations

[asecondwill]

This works great - I've been searching all arvo for a spree blog gem. thanks!

Do you have any plans to enable translations with spree I18N / globalise?

Hi asecondwill. I don't currently have any plans to add further translation features. Hopefully the majority of the text used in the gem comes from the locale yml files, so that should be a good start. I think the next step would be to add support for translations on the models if the spree_i18n gem is loaded. Presumably that would be the BlogEntry model fields for title, body and summary. Is that what you had in mind?

Hi there! First off: thanks for this plugin here! I also wanted to add translations and tried it myself.

First I created a file named blog_entry_decorator.rb in models/spree containing this code:

Spree::BlogEntry.class_eval do
    translates :title, :body, :summary
end

Then I added this migration here

class AddTranslationsToBlogEntries < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    Spree::BlogEntry.create_translation_table!({
        :title => :string, :body => :text, :summary => :text
      }, {
        :migrate_data => true
      })
  end
end

is that correct? how can I add the translation fields to the admin view?

Best regards

@mmintel you need to override the view part of this gem as well and use the same procedure to add translations as you can do with a normal rails application. and as suggested by the

globalize gem

you can take help with this gem Spree Globalize
