Sets some preferences to parse ActiveRecord files.

• config: a Hash of the config. It can takes some values below:
  • :use_classname - If true, the msgids of ActiveRecord become "ClassName|FieldName" (e.g. "Article|Title"). Otherwise the ClassName is not used (e.g. "Title"). Default is true.
  • :db_yml - the path of database.yml. Default is "config/database.yml".
  • :db_mode - the mode of the database. Default is "development"
  • :activerecord_classes - an Array of the superclass of the models. The classes should be String value. Default is ["ActiveRecord::Base"]
  • :untranslate_columns - an Array of the column names which is ignored as the msgid.
  • :adapter - the options for ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection. If this value is set, :db_yml option is ignored.
  • :host - ditto
  • :username - ditto
  • :password - ditto
  • :database - ditto
  • :socket - ditto
  • :encoding - ditto

"ClassName|FieldName" uses GetText.sgettext. So you don‘t need to translate the left-side of "|". See <Documents for Translators for more details(www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-translate.html)>.
