i suggest you to use database for translations, but in order to avoid
the call to the db every time you need a set of translations, serilize
the collection to an xml file on your server, from which you will read.
any time you make changes on the translations, just reproducte the file.

also a nice alternative is ruby gettext. with that you can just type
_(‘your localized text’)
in your controllers or views, and run
rake updatepo
to create a standard .pot file you can give away to translators that can
then use the gettext translator gui “poEdit” (available on various
platforms) or any text-editor to create whatever language version you
want without the need to access any db or code.
then copy the returned translation file to your app and run
rake makemo

works nice even with automatic browser-locale detection so you can
switch the language in your browser settings.

have a look at this howto:
