Hi, I''ve been playing around with RoR, I''m really amazed by the ease of code, the clever yet simple way of achieving things (I already have 2 simple web apps up and running, and it didn''t take me long to develop them!!). I bought the Agile Web Development with Rails, which I like very much. Everything is coming so smoothly, I enjoy it. Except for one point: what about internationalisation ? I didn''t see a mention of this topic in the book so far. I read about gettext on the web here http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/16 but I''m still looking for the recommended way of writing internationalised applications with rails. So I thought I would ask it here: how do you handle internationalisation generally in your rails applications ? (labelled, database defined enumerations used in a select box, or any other database backed labels, displaying the date time in the correct format, etc...) kind regards Thibaut Barrère -- [blog] http://www.dotnetguru2.org/tbarrere/ _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Soon or later it will be I guess. In the mean time, have a look at Multilingual Rails http://www.tuxsoft.se/sv/oss/rails/multilingual. So far it is the most promising besides Ri18n http://ri18n.berlios.de/ of which the author still seems to be on vacation. Sascha Ebach
