Migrate existing values for column to default locale

[sergio-rivas]

I was wondering how to migrate existing data to the jsonb?

My existing schema for an application as setup with title and content However, after a decision to make the content available internationally, we decided to incorporate a translation gem.

Here is the result:

    t.string "title"
    t.text "content"
    t.jsonb "title_translations"
    t.jsonb "content_translations"

The problem here is that the values originally stored in title are no longer accessible. I can only access them when I comment out the translates :title, :content line at the top of the model, which means I can't do it via simple script.

I think one simple solution to this would be to give users of the gem the ability to turn the translation on/off similar to how easy you made it to do i18n fallbacks on/off. That way at least users can write a simple script to migrate existing values.

I've added a pull request fulfilling an enable/disable translations feature.

Actually, just realized this much easier realized just by using .attributes directly in a migration script. The PR is still worth looking at though. 💃
