i18n considerations

Hello,

I like the inclusion of a rich-text editor in rails by default.

One issue I'd like to raise is internationalization/translations. I've been using the globalize gem to save translation records for fields on models that have translations. Now I was wondering if this will work for rich text fields, too.

I gave it a try and doesn't quite work as expected but I've come up with a quick hack to get it working. I delegated all the methods has_rich_text creates to the translation and attached has_rich_text :content to the translation class by opening up globalize's nested Translation class. You can find an example below with a Post model that has content as the rich text field.

Disclaimer: Not fully tested.

class Post < ApplicationRecord
  translates :title, :content, touch: true

  delegate :content, to: :translation
  delegate :content=, to: :translation

  after_save do
    content.save if content.changed?
  end

  class Translation
    has_rich_text :content
  end
end

Action Text has been merged into Rails. Please do investigate whether Action Text plays nicely with popular plugins and report back to rails/rails if there’s anything we can reasonably do in the framework to address incompatibilities.
