Is there a way to internationalize/localize model values?

Our users put documents into the database and provide e.g. names in different languages.

We store those in different DB fields, say name_en, name_fr, name_de and so on.

My question is:

Does Rails have a mechanism (probably provided by i18n) that selects the right name based on the current language setting?

I imagine a call like:

<%= t(document, :name) %>
