Dynamic fallback for empty translations? - Mobility

Question

Im using the Mobility gem (v0.4.3 - https://github.com/shioyama/mobility) and Rails 5.2, and at the moment to set fallbacks I have to set up this in the model:

class Client < ApplicationRecord
  ....
  extend Mobility
  translates :title, type: :string, locale_accessors: true, fallbacks: { en: :es }
  ....
end

The main problem is that the fallback hash is static and in my app the hash could change depending the client configuration.

There is any way to set the fallback hash dynamically?

I have seen that but it's going to be a nightmare to set it on each view... probably should be a way to set the fallbacks for all the models dynamically — darkcode, Mar 03 '18 at 00:50
what I'm looking for is something similar to what I used in the past with the Globalize gem: fallbacks_for_empty_translations: true — darkcode, Mar 03 '18 at 07:41
There is not a way to do this but it's a reasonable feature. Why don't you make a feature request as an issue to the github repo? (I'm the author.) — Chris Salzberg, Mar 03 '18 at 08:07
@ChrisSalzberg done, btw thanks a lot for your work in this gem :) — darkcode, Mar 03 '18 at 08:44
@ChrisSalzberg Is there a good way to achieve this now, with mobility ? — David Geismar, Dec 22 '21 at 11:50

You can pass the fallbacks while reading

class Client < ApplicationRecord
 ....
 extend Mobility
  translates :title, type: :string, fallbacks: true
 ....
 end

and read like this

client.translate(fallback: [:ja, :es])
