ruby script/plugin install http://www.eppsteins.net/rails-plugins/gibberish_db/rdoc/index.html

== Installation

Migrate your database like so:

  def self.up
    create_table "languages" do |t|
      t.column :name, :string, :null => false, :limit => 15, :unique => true
    end
    create_table "translations" do |t|
      t.column :language_id, :integer, :null => false
      t.column :key, :string, :null => false, :limit => 100 #max length for a column used in an index in mysql
      t.column :value, :text
      t.column, :format, :string, :null => false, :default => "inline"
    end
    add_index :translations, [:language_id, :key], :name => :one_translation_per_language, :unique => true
  end
  
  def self.down
    drop_table "languages"
    drop_table "translations"
  end

Add this to your environment.rb:

  config.after_initialize do
    Gibberish.load_languages! rescue nil #if you don't rescue, you'll crash during migrations
  end

== Usage
Use is the same as before only the strings will come from your database now.

You can now use the following models:
* Gibberish::Language
* Gibberish::Translation

Translation cache is automatically expired after save, but if you add a new language, you'll need to call Gibberish.load_languages! again.

There is currently no advanced documentation for this plugin.
