How we've migrated from globalize to hstore-translate

说明与用途

将 Rails 3.2 中的 Globalize 翻译迁移到 hstore-translate，简化了数据库结构并提升了性能。

问题

The Rails application used Globalize for translations, which required separate tables and complex migrations; the team wanted a simpler, more efficient solution.

结果

The migration consolidated translation storage, reduced database complexity, and improved performance while maintaining all existing translated content.

工作流

• 1. Added the hstore extension to PostgreSQL.
• 2. Created a migration to add an hstore column to each translatable model.
• 3. Wrote a data migration script to copy existing Globalize translations into the new hstore column.
• 4. Updated the model code to use hstore-translate instead of Globalize.
• 5. Ran tests and verified data integrity.
• 6. Removed Globalize gems and tables from the project.

证据

We added the hstore extension to PostgreSQL, created a migration to add an hstore column to each translatable model, and wrote a data migration script to copy existing Globalize translations into the new hstore column.
