gettext_column_mapping

If you use mutoh/gettext or grosser/fast_gettext to localize your active_record models, this library is for you. This gem only works for now with mysql

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

Requirements

Gem requirements :

mutoh/gettext_activerecord >= 2.1.0 or grosser/fast_gettext or your own gettext implementation
activerecord >= 2.3.0
mysql >= 2.7

Features/Problems

This library is extracted from another application with its requirements. So it may not fit your project It must be refactored and improved.

Better API methods naming ?
Add more atomic tests
Must accept different output than UTF-8
