Instructions

After migrating the database, you will only have the 'English' tab when editing an existing model instance. The extra locales will be added when the model is saved, this can be automated by running the following in the console:

YourModel.all.map(&:save)

To-do

1. Remove hard-coding of English language, should use I18n.default_locale instead
