This is the globalization project for Solidus.
NOTE: If you just need to change the language of your store, and will only have data in database in one language, then you don't need this gem, use solidus_i18n, which provides translations for static content (links, headers etc).
This gem adds the model data translation support using the Globalize gem. Read more
Happy translating!
Add the following to your Gemfile
:
gem 'solidus_globalize', github: 'solidusio-contrib/solidus_globalize'
For Ruby 3.x you have to force the usage of the friendly_id-globalize master version:
gem 'friendly_id-globalize', github: 'norman/friendly_id-globalize', branch: "master"
gem 'solidus_globalize', github: 'solidusio-contrib/solidus_globalize'
Run bundle install
You can use the generator to install migrations and append solidus_globalize assets to your app solidus manifest file.
bin/rails g solidus_globalize:install
This will insert this line into your solidus manifest file
(vendor/assets/javascripts/spree/backend/all.js
):
//= require spree/backend/solidus_globalize
This feature uses the Globalize gem to localize model data. So far the following models are translatable:
Product, Promotion, OptionType, Taxonomy, Taxon, Property and ShippingMethod.
Start your server and you should see a TRANSLATIONS link or a flag icon on each admin section that supports this feature.
To enable adding translations in admin for a specific language you have to set into an initializer:
SolidusGlobalize::Config.supported_locales = [:en, :'pt-BR']
PS 1. The languages you add to this configuration need to be supported by
your store. This means that you need to have a transations file for them
into /config/locales/
(eg. /config/locales/pt-BR.yml
).
PS 2. Please use symbols, not strings. e.g. :'pt-BR'
not just 'pt-BR'
.
Otherwise you may get unexpected errors
Or if you prefer they're also available on the admin UI general settings section.
Every record needs to have a translation. If by any chance you remove solidus_globalize
from your Gemfile, add some records and then add solidus_globalize
gem back you might get
errors like undefined method for nilClass
because Globalize will try fetch
translations that do not exist.
