The translations are stored as a JSON object i.e. {"en":"Home","de":"Zuhause"}. -The current and default language are stored within the class <tt>I18nColumn::Language</tt>. On each request the current language must be set via <tt>I18nColumn::Language.current_lang = 'en'</tt>. If not set the default language is taken. <tt>I18nColumn::Language.current_lang</tt> is used as the JSON key to store a translation i.e. "en":"Home". +The current and default locale are retrieved from the {Rails Internationalization (I18n) API}[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html]. Set the current locale on each request with i.e. <tt>I18n.locale = :de</tt>. If not set the default locale will be taken: <tt>I18n.default_locale</tt>. <tt>I18n.locale</tt> is used as the JSON key to store a translation i.e. <tt>"en":"Home"</tt>. +<tt>i18n_column</tt> is tested with rails version 3. + == Installation -* Recently a gem version will be provided on gemcutter. -* Run <tt>rails generate i18n_column:install</tt>.
