Ruby on Rails

HI oren,

There was recent similar discussion about design for content
translations and the answer I gave there may be useful to you:

http://osdir.com/ml/RubyonRailsTalk/2010-04/msg02235.html

I'm currently adding content translation to the Kete open source Rails
app (http://github.com/kete/kete and http://kete.net.nz). You may
find some example code there useful.

A lot of people, including myself with
http://github.com/kete/mongo_translatable, are starting to use a NoSQL
backend for translation. The latest I18n gem just added Tokyo Cabinet
support, too.

Hope this helps,
Walter
