Hello, I have i18n gem and tolk running for static content translations. Also for database translations i am using Globalize3, but is there any plugin or gem which can work with globalize3 for adding translations to database, like tolk is doing for .yml files ? It would great help if you suggest or direct to any link. Googling around for this, but couldn’t find anything good yet. ---

What you mean ‘adding translations to database’, your question isn’t very clear, as globalize already works with database; can you please be more specific with your question ? * * * [http://blog.eugen.co](http://blog.eugen.co) ---

Ok.. let me give an example. I have Category model. This model now have name and description fields. As this Category model was already present while installing globalize3, i used :migrate\_date to true which also worked fine. But now my problem is, I want to have a admin front end to add translations in many languages for this Category model. I would be adding translations for 3-4 languages. I search a bit and found tolk engine, which created different .yml files for locales. So is there any plugin or engine which can be used from admin side to add translations for each row of Category model. Thanks. On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Eugen C.

Thanks Eugen. Still, is there any other way to save in, say en-US local without defining I18n.locate = “en-US” ? Just finding a way to save these translations from a form where local can also be sent as a just a param. On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 10:33 PM, Eugen C.

I got it, you need admin front end (ui) for models translated with globalize3. I have no idea where you can find something even close to that :(( – > **[Eugen.co may be for sale - PerfectDomain.com](https://perfectdomain.com/domain/eugen.co)** > > Checkout the full domain details of Eugen.co.
