Rails - May 2006 - ruby on rails international & BIRT integration?

Hello,


 I see, that Rails is quite english-centric. I am developing some webs, 
that are not primarily in English. I have a few questions:

 - besides turning of plurals, what should I take care? How to use utf-8 
for all data and converting it from local charsets to utf-8?
 - how do I make my page multilingual (i.e. adding english support 
later)? Is there something like gettext support? Is there a multilingual 
scaffold support? (So I''ll have a web interface where I can translate 
all the messages used in application).
 - Is there some web/wiki page talking about internationalization issues 
in Rails? Should we start one?

 One more question not about internationalization: is there some BIRT 
(Business Intelligence and Reporting Tool) integration? Or preferable 
way to make reports (PDF, HTML, ...) from my existing model?


  Thanks,

    Juraj.

Hello,

well, I wanted <a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/">BIRT</a>
integration, not another plugin to write PDF documents.

And I wanted some hints for i18n site creation (how to set up rails 
correctly), I know about globalize. For example I don''t know in which 
character set does data from browser come...

The BIRT site contains an article about Integrating BIRT with PHP. Try 
to use ruby
code and rails funtions instead of PHP.
 http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/usingPHP.php
