ActiveTranslateSelf
String! Translate yourself! A very хорошо gem!
Finnish, English, Japanese, Russian!
Translate Ruby strings in Rails to a language of your choice! Any and all languages supported, as long as they're also supported by DeepL. If your language is not supported at the moment, you just need to wait a bit. Or make a PR for TranslateSelf to add Google Translate backend to it.
Supported languages:
supported languages are: Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish.
Automatic translations with I18n ActiveRecord backend
So first, install the ActiveRecord backend for I18n from the link below: svenfuchs/i18n-active_record: I18n ActiveRecord backend
Then, include the following in your config/initializers/i18n_active_record.rb
:
if I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Translation.table_exists?
I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord.new
I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord.include I18n::Backend::Memoize
I18n::Backend::Simple.include I18n::Backend::Memoize
I18n::Backend::Simple.include I18n::Backend::Pluralization
# This is the monkeypatch!
I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Missing.prepend ActiveTranslateSelf::Missing
I18n::Backend::Simple.include I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord::Missing
I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Chain.new(I18n::Backend::Simple.new, I18n.backend)
end
Now just add a new translation language to your app, and it will be automatically translated using the default language's translation.
Usage
Easy to use!
Now your models get superpowers if they have string fields:
user = User.find(2020)
user.favorite_food # or any field name that is a string in Ruby
# hamburgers
user.favorite_food.to_ru # or to_fi, to_es, to_ja...
# гамбургер
Just get a DeepL auth key (free!), and create an initializer(config/initializers/active_translate_self.rb
), add the auth key to your Rails credentials file with the following command:
$ EDITOR="vim" rails credentials:edit
Inside, the file should look like below:
deepl:
auth_key: 'my-auth-key'
And the initializer should just read that value like below:
ActiveTranslateSelf.auth_key = Rails.application.credentials.dig(:deepl, :auth_key)
The TranslateSelf gem uses the free DeepL servers by default, but you can also set
ActiveTranslateSelf.host
if you want to use the pro license servers.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'active_translate_self'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install active_translate_self
Build on top of TranslateSelf and DeepL for Ruby.
