Rails - May 2006 - Gettext not worked in firefox,but done well under IE

Anyone who has met such a kind of problem? I am adding i18n 
characteristics to my webapp using gettext,it works under IE,while not 
under firefox.
here is my codes:
po:
po\zh_CN\myapp.po

after rake makemo, i have got:
locale\zh_CN\LC_MESSAGES\myapp.mo

require ''gettext/rails''
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
	init_gettext "myapp"
end

Then I use the following to have a test in the application.rhtml
<%= local %>
<% local=("zh_CN") %>
<%= local %>
<%= _("Login") %>
in IE,it can display as follows:
en
zh_CN
??

but in firefox,it can not work:
en
zh_CN
Login

Am i wrong or ignore some procedures?

Thanks
Charlie

I''ve gotten GetText 1.4 and Firefox 1.5.0.3 to work. Not sure how you
set the lang (locale). I have mine be the first of
request.env[''HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE''].

It seems that I can not use GetText.local= to set lang value,although I 
have found it in the API of GetText :

maybe this helps:
http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/16

it says:

Ruby-GetText chooses the current language by following these rules in
the given order:

   1. the first value passed the ''locale'' parameter of
GetText.bindtextdomain method call
   2. ''lang'' value of QUERY_STRING
   3. ''lang'' value of the Cookie
   4. the value of HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
   5. or default ''en'' (English).

ciao,

Did your code work?

I think you need to use locale not local.
and also local=("zh_CN") set "zh_CN" to "local"
variable.

If you really want to work this sample, then
> require ''gettext/rails''
> class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
GetText.locale = "zh_CN"
> 	init_gettext "myapp"
> end

BTW, 
Try "zh" locale instead of "zh_CN".

locale\zh_CN\LC_MESSAGES\myapp.mo
  -> locale\zh\LC_MESSAGES\myapp.mo

I suspect your locale of FireFox is "zh" not "zh_CN".
