Iain, thanks for getting back to me! I already had a look at translatable_columns before writing my first message here but until reading yours didn't realize you were the author. It is indeed a fine plugin which I briefly used for a mock-up like application but doesn't quite fit my new project.
IMHO storing all translations of all attributes in one and the same db record is just not feasible when you've got a lot of attributes per model or many translations per attribute. Or both, as in my case.. ;) Still though, it is an awesome plugin for quickly developing i.e. a bilingual application. Having also had a look at the plugins list you linked to, I guess Globalize would -- at least in theory -- be the best fit for my needs. So I will try it out and report back here, maybe also write up some sort of introduction to using it, as I couldn't find any howto-style resources for Globalize 2 yet. I just held back on using it because I wasn't quite sure whether http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2/tree/master really represented the latest available version (as the last commit happened some 6 weeks or so ago) and whether the API already was at least relatively future proof. Looking at http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2/network there are quite a few forks already out there. Are the corresponding authors present on this list? Have decisions be made to merge some of them back into joshm's repository? Is that even the main line of development? So many questions.. I'm looking forward to the new mailing list.. :) I would also be very interested in reading more about the concepts behind it. It would be fantastic if someone could point me to some of the discussions that have lead to Globalize 2 being designed the way it is. Presuming these discussions took place on a publicly available mailing list? Getting such a high level overview is always very helpful in getting actively involved in development.
