Rails applications using Globalize gem generate a database table for a givenmodel's translations named givenmodel_translations with each attribute defined in the givenmodel.rb file.
However starting with a pre-existing data where translation data needs to be created in the translations table - say from a CSV file - there is no railsish way of calling the table. note: this model has also image size validations and works with slugs to find objects One cannot call from the console
GivenmodelTranslation.create( :locale => row[0], :title => row[1] [...] )
How can such data be populated?
Globalize creates namespaced translation models:
Givenmodel::Translation
However I haven't seen it documented so it could change in the next versions.
