ArangoI18n

This gem lets you use the ArangoDB multi-modal database as an I18n backend in your Ruby projects.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'arango_i18n'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install arango_i18n

Usage

Using this gem with a Rails project might look something like this:

# config/initializers/i18n_backend.rb

database = Ashikawa::Core::Database.new do |config|
  config.url = "http://localhost:8529"
  config.database_name = 'my_app_i18n'
  config.username = ""
  config.password = ""
end

# database.collection("i18n") will return a collection object
# The collection will be created if it does not exist
I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::KeyValue.new(ArangoI18n::Store.new(database.collection("i18n")))

If there are existing translations lurking in config/locales/*.yml you probably will want to load them in with this:

I18n.backend.load_translations

Then end result of the code above is that the my_app_i18n database would have a collection called "i18n" which contains a bunch of documents that look something like this:

{ "key": "en.hello", "value": "\"Hello world\"" }
{ "key": "fr.hello", "value": "\"Bonjour le monde\"" }

Your translations then work as normal:

[3] pry(#<#<Class:0x007f06e47ef788>>)> t("hello")
=> "Hello world"
[4] pry(#<#<Class:0x007f06e47ef788>>)> I18n.locale = :fr
=> :fr
[5] pry(#<#<Class:0x007f06e47ef788>>)> t("hello")
=> "Bonjour le monde"
