Friendly_id and globalize - use default translation for slug if translation is missing

I have integrated friendly_id gem and globalize and it works just fine if I have translation for slug in specific locale.

But what I want to achieve is to use default translation for slug in case it is missing in translation table for some locale.

So let say I have a master locale MA where the slug is filled and I have a EN locale, where it is missing. If I will go to EN version, I want to see MA version of the slug.

Is there a way how to do this?

Thanks, Miroslav

I figured this out finally by writing an application helper method (other solutions did not work for me). Hope it will help someone. If the translations do not exist for a product, it will use master translation (which is created by default on product creation) otherwise use current locale version.

# application_helper.rb

def product_url(product)
    if product.translations.pluck(:locale).include?(I18n.locale.to_s)
      admin_translations_product_path(product)
    else
      I18n.with_locale(:ma) { admin_translations_product_path(product) }
    end
end

# index.html.erb
<%= link_to "#{t :button_admin_edit} #{locale.to_s.upcase}", product_url(product) %>

I believe this is handled for you if you use this add-on gem for friendlyid and globalization: https://github.com/norman/friendly_id-globalize/blob/master/README.md

It handles the default locale. I'll just refer you to the docs but that will hopefully do it.
