A interface for database stored translation editing as rails engine. Uses your styles/layout and fits seamlessly.

rails plugin install git://github.com/grosser/translation_db_engine.git

• Setup FastGettext(>= 0.4.7) to run from database and include the db_models, see FastGettext Readme
• rails generate migration CreateTranslationTables and paste in migrations to create models
• Start translating! (it is as fast as mo/po based translations because of FastGettext`s caching)

• Setup whichever I18n framework supports a database
• Create a TranslationKey model that has_many :translations, available_locales and accepts_nested_attributes_for :translations
• Make available locales return the locales you need
• Start translating!

• Setup authentification by copying and modifying translation_db_engine.yml into RAILS_ROOT/config
• rake sync_po_to_db to load all translations from .po files into the database (given they lie in /locale), requires pomo po parser
• (If not translations exist yet) Add initial translations through import or create them through the script/console (you NEED a translation for every locale so that available_locales is populated and edit fields are shown correctly)
• Visit /translation_keys in your browser.

• specs
• search + ordering + pagination
