This plugin adds a method to easily access translation attributes. So if you have a translated attribute title in your post model,you can now access the english version of the attribute you would call en_title an your post object, here is an example: post = Post.new(:title => "My title") post.en_title

this will print out "My title". To activate the easy access methods, just add the following line to your model and pass it the hash of short locale names you want to have easy access to:

easy_translate :locales => ["en", "ar"]

or just:

easy_translate

which will take by default the value of I18n.available_locales if :locales is empty or nil so you don't need to modify all the model files when you add new locale
