+h4. Writing Rake Tasks
+
+If you have (or want to write) any automation scripts outside your app (data import, checks, etc), you can make them as rake tasks. It's easy.
+
+INFO: "Complete guide about how to write tasks":http://rake.rubyforge.org/files/doc/rakefile_rdoc.html is available in the official documentation.
+
+Tasks should be placed in <tt>Rails.root/lib/tasks</tt> and should have a +.rake+ extension.
+
+Each task should be defined in next format (dependencies are optional):
+
+<ruby>
+desc "I am short, but comprehensive description for my cool task"
+task :task_name => [:prerequisite_task, :another_task_we_depend_on] do
+ # All your magick here
+ # Any valid Ruby code is allowed
+end
+</ruby>
+
+If you need to pass parameters, you can use next format (both arguments and dependencies are optional):
+
+<ruby>
+task :task_name, [:arg_1] => [:pre_1, :pre_2] do |t, args|
+ # You can use args from here
+end
+</ruby>
+
+You can group tasks by placing them in namespaces:
+
+<ruby>
+namespace :do
+ desc "This task does nothing"
+ task :nothing do
+ # Seriously, nothing
+ end
+end
+</ruby>
+
+You can see your tasks to be listed by <tt>rake -T</tt> command. And, according to the examples above, you can invoke them as follows:
+
+<shell>
+rake task_name
+rake "task_name[value 1]" # entire argument string should be quoted
+rake do:nothing
+</shell>
+
+NOTE: If your need to interact with your application models, perform database queries and so on, your task should depend on the +environment+ task, which will load your application code.

This section looks at overriding or adding functionality to the views, controllers and models provided by an engine.
+h4. Overriding Models
+
+Engine Models can be extended by (1) implementing decorators, or (2) including modules.
+
+h5. Decorators
+
+Decorators extends Engine's model classes in the main application by open classing Engine models at run time execution.
+
+<ruby>
+# MyApp/app/decorators/models/blorgh/post_decorator.rb
+
+Blorgh::Post.class_eval do
+ def time_since_created
+ Time.current - created_at
+ end
+end
+</ruby>
+
+h5. Modules
+
+The other strategy is to create modules within the Engine holding all the models' code and include these in the respective Engine's model classes. Thus the Engine's model classes contain a mere include line referencing the respective module.
+
+Engine models can be overriden in the main application by creating a file with the Engine's same namespace and including the module originally referenced in the Engine's model class. ["**ActiveSupport::Concern**":http://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Concern.html] helps manage the correct ordering of module dependencies at run time (it's worth it to reach the linked documentation).
+
+<ruby>
+# MyApp/app/models/blorgh/post.rb
+# overrides Blorgh's original Post model
+
+class Blorgh::Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+ include Blorgh::Concerns::Models::Post

+h4. Inflection Rules For Other Locales
+
+Rails 4.0 allows you to define inflection rules (such as rules for singularization and pluralization) for locales other than English. In +config/initializers/inflections.rb+, you can define these rules for multiple locales. The initializer contains a default example for specifying additional rules for English; follow that format for other locales as you see fit.

h4. Localized Views
Rails 2.3 introduces another convenient localization feature: localized views (templates). Let's say you have a _BooksController_ in your application. Your _index_ action renders content in +app/views/books/index.html.erb+ template. When you put a _localized variant_ of this template: *+index.es.html.erb+* in the same directory, Rails will render content in this template, when the locale is set to +:es+. When the locale is set to the default locale, the generic +index.html.erb+ view will be used. (Future Rails versions may well bring this _automagic_ localization to assets in +public+, etc.)
