Rails: How to use i18n with Rails 4 enums

Question

Rails 4 Active Record Enums are great, but what is the right pattern for translating with i18n?

Answer 1

I've created a gem for this.

http://rubygems.org/gems/translated_attribute_value

Add to your gemfile:

gem 'translated_attribute_value'

If you have a status field for user:

pt-BR:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      user:
        status_translation:
          value1: 'Translation for value1'
          value2: 'Translation for value2'

And in your view you can call like this:

user.status_translated

It works with active record, mongoid or any other class with getter/setters:
