We are using Rails 3.2.15 and Globalize gem for I18N. We recently integrated Paper Trail Gem for auditing Model changes.
We observed that whichever model fields are marked as translated are not updated in DB.
e.g.
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
translates :name
has_paper_trail
end
When I update the name attribute of MyModel object, it is not saved.
Versions:
Ruby 1.9.3
Rails 3.2.15
Globalize3
paper_trail 2.7.2
I got it to work by upgrading my Globalize
gem and installing the globalize-versioning
gem. It works quite well together.
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
translates :name, versioning: :paper_trail
has_paper_trail
end
This does require you to get versions for translated items with my_model.translations.versions
instead of the usual my_model.versions
.
