Hi, I went ahead an installed the Globalize plugin. Things seems to be working alright for Spanish and Dutch. Selecting french it appears the encoding doesn''t work properly. I don''t know how this will show up in your mail client but it seems to just ouput HEX values or something: Mardi 06 DxC3xA9cembre 2005 Perhaps the data did not get loaded into my DB properly (postgresql 8, created with encoding=UNICODE). Also, Israel throws me an error: <% Locale.set("he-IL") %> <h1><%= Time.now.localize("%A %d %B %Y") %></h1> text was supposed to be a Array, but was a String Extracted source (around line #2): 1: <% Locale.set("he-IL") %> 2: <h1><%= Time.now.localize("%A %d %B %Y") %></h1> 3: 4: <div id="ladder_container"> 5: <%= render(:partial => "shared/loading", :locals => { :prefix => ''ldr'' }) %> RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..

I wonder why it doesn''t just use the actualy characters in an UNICODE/utf8 file. I''m no i18n export so I''m sure there is a reason for this. Cheers, Jeroen
Yep, there does seem to be something wrong with the encoding of the supplied translation strings. I encoded the translations in YAML, because the translations are arrays. They have to be arrays in order to support pluralization. I''m looking into this now, and I''ll let you know what I find.

I also read a message by somebody saying YAML might not be the right format for this. I know Rails is not keen on XML, but for this kinds of stuff it might actually be a good candidate.

I agree in this case. I found the problem, and it''s YAML related (although not YAML''s fault). I changed Globalize to use straight text strings instead of YAML. I''m converting the data to the new format now, so it should be ready soon. Thanks for the bug report :) Josh jeroen wrote:>> I''m looking into this now, and I''ll let you know what I find. > > Okay.
