Overview

Generator to create translation tables or add translation columns to a model table, for either Table or Column backends.

Usage

To add translations for a string attribute title to a model Post, call the generator with:

rails generate mobility:translations post title:string

Here, the backend is implicit in the value of Mobility.default_backend, but it can be explicitly set using the backend option:

rails generate mobility:translations post title:string --backend=table

For the table backend, the generator will either create a translation table (in this case, post_translations) or add columns to the table if it already exists.

For the column backend, the generator will add columns for all locales in Mobility.available_locales. If some columns already exist, they will simply be skipped.

Other backends are not supported, for obvious reasons:

  • the key_value backend does not need any model-specific migrations, simply run the install generator.

  • json, jsonb, hstore, serialized, and container backends simply require a single column on a model table, which can be added with the normal Rails migration generator.
