Problem with alternative model translation

[Chee Foong Chiew]

Hi all,

I install the latest globalize and is trying out the alternative model translation. I got the following nil error and i am not sure what i am doing wrong, it seems to happen only to that particular 'artist' field. if i execute i.name, it works for different laguages.

Hope you all can help me.

I looked at the db_translate.rb in globalize but that is too advanced for me as I am new to rails.

thanks

Hi - The problem is solved. I am not sure this is documented somewhere, you need to do the following in a single line

localize :name, :artist

instead of

localize :name

localize :artist

Thanks

Hi!

Wondering if any of you know of a good way to migrate an app  (rails  
2.0.2) using globalize (1) application to a rails 2.3.x?

As you know, the globalize (1) plugin is no longer officially  
supported, and globalize 2 is not compatible with the previous  
release. I am wondering if any of you have made it work for rails  
2.3.x, any github forks,  or if you know of any other successful  
migrations (blog articles, etc.)

Thanks much,
Jürgen
