Use JQuery autocomplete (via rails3-jquery-autocomplete) with globalize3 translated ActiveRecord models.
Internals: This gem patches the get_autocomplete_items method (provided by rails3-jquery-autocomplete) so it works with translated model columns.
Since we are not actively using this gem any more, further development is unlikely. If anyone wants to submit a PR, we will of course still try to review + merge.
rails3-jquery-autocomplete 1.0 and globalize3 0.3 are supported.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'globalize3-jquery-autocomplete'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install globalize3-jquery-autocomplete
Simply follow the documentation at globalize3 for how to translate your models and rails3-jquery-autocomplete for how to set up autocomplete.
You don't need any additional configuration. As soon as a column is translated, autocomplete will automatically be in context of the current locale.
Example (in your controller):
# query for matches in the current locale (given the 'name' column of your Brand model is translated):
autocomplete :brand, :name
