Forum: Rails I18n Multilingual model content

Hi

I'm looking for some insight in a small problem I have.

I need multilingual input in my models. Lets say you have a Product
model. That product contains title, description and price. The price is
allways the same, but the title and description need to be inputted in
diffrent languages.

I have used the I18n framework build in Rails, so no external plugin and
I would like to keep it that way.

One idea I was playing with is the following model build:

Product
-------
id
price

ProductI18n
-----------
id
product_id
language -> I18n code like EN, BE, FR
title
description

But how do I link those 2 together, so that I can show the product
details in the current user language?

Is there a way to pass a variable trough the Product association like
this:

has_one :product_language, :class_name => :product_i18n, :conditions =>
"language = users_current_language_code"

I know I'm on the good track, but I know I'm missing something.

thank you for the insight

Take a look at the globalize 2 plugin on github: 
http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2/tree/master

It covers model translation like you want to do and is recommended by 
the author of the I18n Rails guide:
