globalize3 and easy_globalize3_accessors validation

I'm using gems: globalize3 and easy_globalize3_accessors. I have a problem with validations. For example, I have Post model:

class Post
  translates :title, :content
  globalize_accessors :locales => [:en, :ru], :attributes => [:title, :content]
  validates :title, :content, :presence => true
end

and form:

= form_for @post do |f|
  -I18n.available_locales.each do |locale|
    = f.text_field "title_#{locale}"
    = f.text_area "content_#{locale}"

it looks like in view (if I18n.locale = :ru):

<form action="/ru/posts" method="post">
  <input id="post_title_ru" name="post[title_ru]" type="text" />
  <textarea cols="40" id="post_content_ru" name="vision[content_ru]"></textarea>

  <input id="post_title_en" name="post[title_en]" type="text" />
  <textarea cols="40" id="post_content_en" name="vision[content_en]"></textarea>

  <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Создать Видение" />
</form>

If I fill in the fields only in Russian, the validation passes, if I wanted to post was in English only, and fill only the English field (when I18n.locale = :ru), the validation fails

Title can't be blank
Content can't be blank

As I understand it, there is a problem in the attributes, validation checks only the first attributes :title_ru and :content_ru. And to the rest of attributes (:content_en and :title_en) check does not reach.

how to make a second data validator to check if the validation of the first group of attributes is not passed?

thanks in advance

validate :titles_validation

def titles_validation
  errors.add(:base, "your message") if [title_ru, title_en].all? { |value| value.blank? }
end

The problem is that globalize3 is validating the title for whatever locale you are currently in. If you want to validate for every locale (and not just the current locale), you have to explicitly add validators for the attribute in each locale (as @apneadiving pointed out).

You should be able to generate these validators automatically by cycling through I18n.available_locales:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  I18n.available_locales.each do |locale|
    validates :"title_#{locale}", :presence => true
  end

  ...

end
