Helper that renders globalize_translations fields on a per-locale basis, so you can use them separately in the same form and still saving them all at once in the same request.

This is forked from https://github.com/wooandoo/batch_translations and based on work from Szymon Fiedler & Jose Alvarez Rilla

• converted into a gem.
• fixed to work with rails-bootstrap-forms

There are no tests.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'batch_translations', git: 'https://github.com/trammel/batch_translations'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install batch_translations

In model, which uses Globalize after definition

translates :title, :teaser, :body # or any other fields, which you translate

place

accepts_nested_attributes_for :translations

so it'll look like

  class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
    translates :title, :teaser, :body
    accepts_nested_attributes_for :translations
  end

Now, use it in your view file, like as below:

  <h1>Editing post</h1>

  <%= form_for(@post) do |f| %>
    <%= f.error_messages %>

    <h2>English (default locale)</h2>
    <p><%= f.text_field :title %></p>
    <p><%= f.text_field :teaser %></p>
    <p><%= f.text_field :body %></p>

    <hr/>

    <h2>Spanish translation</h2>
    <%= f.globalize_fields_for :es do |g| %>
      <p><%= g.text_field :title %></p>
      <p><%= g.text_field :teaser %></p>
      <p><%= g.text_field :body %></p>
    <% end %>

    <hr/>

    <h2>French translation</h2>
    <%= f.globalize_fields_for :fr do |g| %>
      <p><%= g.text_field :title %></p>
      <p><%= g.text_field :teaser %></p>
      <p><%= g.text_field :body %></p>
    <% end %>

    <%= f.submit "Save" %>
  <% end %>

Permit simplified batch assignment using the permit_with_translations helper

params.require(:post).permit_with_translations(:title, :body)

It defaults to using the locales defined by I18n.available_locales
