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

Foong
