Hi, I am using rails 2.0.2 and when trying to edit table data the corresponding controller fires an argument error for the update method. I already tried to delete the plugins (except the globalize plugin) but nothing changes. Has anyone an idea what is wrong? Here is the trace: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/base.rb:2245:in `attributes_with_quotes' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:2245:in`update\_without\_lock’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/locking/optimistic.rb:70:in `update_without_callbacks' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:240:in`update\_without\_timestamps’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/timestamp.rb:38:in `globalize_old_update' vendor/plugins/for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/db_translate.rb:702:in`update’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/base.rb:2238:in `create_or_update_without_callbacks' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:213:in`globalize\_old\_create\_or\_update’ vendor/plugins/for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/db\_translate.rb:695:in `create_or_update' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1972:in`save\_without\_validation’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/validations.rb:934:in `save_without_transactions' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:108:in`save’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract/database\_statements.rb:66:in `transaction' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:80:in`transaction’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/transactions.rb:100:in `transaction' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:108:in`save’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/transactions.rb:120:in `rollback_active_record_state!' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:108:in`save’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/active\_record/base.rb:2034:in `update_attributes' app/controllers/activities_controller.rb:63:in`update’ app/controllers/activities\_controller.rb:62:in `update’ ---

Finally I figured out that the problem occurs when switching on the model translation vía “translates :method” in the corresponding model. However, I do not know how to fix that as I still do not know a lot about Ruby and Rails but I will make a trial with keeping translations in the model and see what happens. Jochen ---

Ok, and here is the corresponding ticket with patch to fix it: [http://trac.globalize-rails.org/trac/globalize/ticket/184](http://trac.globalize-rails.org/trac/globalize/ticket/184)
