## README

= Mongo-I18n

MongoDB backend implementation for I18n gem.

== Supports

* Ruby 1.8.7 (Ruby 1.9+ untested but should work).
* I18n 0.5.0
* Rails 3.0.3

== Installation

From command line:

  gem install mongo-i18n
  
At rails' 3 gemfile:

  gem 'mongo-i18n'

== Usage with Rails 3

I recommend to start with Chain[https://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n/blob/master/lib/i18n/backend/chain.rb] backend while mongodb collection is empty, and move to entirely mongodb-based backend when you populate your database with all I18n messages.

Begin with: 

  collection = Mongo::Connection.new['my_app_related_db'].collection('i18n')
  I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Chain.new(I18n::Backend::KeyValue.new(MongoI18n::Store.new(collection)), I18n.backend)

And finish with:

  collection = Mongo::Connection.new['my_app_related_db'].collection('i18n')
  I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::KeyValue.new(MongoI18n::Store.new(collection)

If you are already using a mongodb ORM in your project (and I suppose you are, why else would you be reading this article? :), I recommend using the existing database connection:

  collection = MongoMapper.database.collection('i18n')
  I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::KeyValue.new(MongoI18n::Store.new(collection))
