Hi all, I''m totally new to Rails and was wondering how to externalize message strings in a file so I can use them throughout my application. Is there something already provided with Rails ?

In environment.rb:
# load the strings file :
APP_TEXT =
YAML::load(File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/messages.yml"))
rescue {}
In config/message.yml:
db_save:
success: Success
failure: Failure
In views/controller: example:
...
flash[:notice] = tx_('db_save/success')
...
In application.rb
def dev?
@is_dev||=(ENV['RAILS_ENV']=='development')
end
def tx_(key)
a,b = key.split('/')
APP_TEXT[a][b]+(dev? ? '°' : '')
end
helper_method :tx_, :dev?
Note: this version adds a little ° after externalized string when in
dev mode => you can see what's hardcoded, and what's externalized.

I was excpecting the ''tx_(key)'' method to be available in functional test as well if defined in application.rb. But it isn''t. Do I have to duplicate the method(s) ? If, what would be the right place for it ? test_helper.rb ?
