How we've migrated from globalize to hstore-translate

Описание и применение

Перенос приложения Rails из Globalize в hstore-translate упрощает схему и повышает производительность, сохраняя функциональность переводов.

Задача

The Rails application used Globalize for translations, which required a separate translations table and added complexity to queries and migrations.

Результат

The migration reduced database joins, simplified schema, and improved migration speed while maintaining translation functionality.

Рабочий процесс

• Identify all models using Globalize
• Add a new hstore column (e.g., "translations") to each model
• Write a migration script to copy existing translations into the hstore column
• Update model code to use hstore-translate instead of Globalize
• Run tests and verify data integrity
• Remove Globalize gems and tables
• Update documentation and deployment scripts
