Ruby on Rails

Thanks Walter.
Kete looks like an awesome project.

It looks like the simplest solution for me would be to add language_id
field to my content table and maybe later on
I'll refactor it to other solution. mongo db sounds awesome, but I am
not sure where to start - the github page doesn't explain about
installing/using it.
