You want to create a rake task that A) Reads the CSV and for each row (Probably, depends on your CSV): B) Finds the existing file, changes the local, and adds the data.
Since you are familiar with Railscasts, have a look at http://railscasts.com/episodes/66-custom-rake-tasks for an overview of making your own rake tasks.
This link is what you probably ultimately want to do: http://nithinbekal.com/2009/rails-importing-data-from-spreadsheets-into-database/

Rails 3.1.3 Globalize3 latest I am not sure if I can ask this question here in general Rails forum. But I'll try. Currently I am using a gem, Globalize3, which is useful for model I18n. https://github.com/svenfuchs/globalize3 Say, I have a model City, having only one column, name. City names appear differently depending on the language, so perhaps this particular gem is useful. RailsCast is nice http://railscasts.com/episodes/338-globalize3?view=comments My app has already many city names in ENGLISH and now I would like to add city names in other languages as well. In order to do so, from my understanding, find a particular City entry c = City.find(...) c.name = "Tokyo" then I need to change I18n.locale I18n.locale = :ja and add the new name in another language c.name = "東京" c.save This is a tedious job. I want to add hundreds of city names from a CSV file. Can anyone give me tips for controllers for that? I am stuck because I need to change I18n.locale on every insertion.
