Rails - Aug 2006 - Localizing an engine with gettext .. what and where ?

I succeeded localizing my app with gettext (good tutorial @ 
http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html) BUT...
I''d
like to localize an engine (let''s call it jdoe_engine...
it seems more complicated....

In order to get my pot/po''s to generate my mo''s
what should be my rakefile ? where it should be located ? how can I run 
it ? any additional lines to be inserted into my app files to take my 
mo''s in account ?
could google it anywhere ....

You can localized your Rails Plugins easily.

require ''gettext/rails''
module FooPlugin
  include GetText::Rails
  bindtextdomain("foo_plugin", :path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 
"vendor/plugins/foo/locale"))
  :
  :
end
In this example, the FooPlugin module binds "foo_plugin" textdomain.
And the mo files are in 
vendor/plugins/foo/locale/#{lang}/LC_MESSGES/foo_plugin.mo.

If you want to use the same textdomain with the application, you can use 
ActionController::Base.textdomainname.

I''ve not test it, but it should be something like this:

require ''gettext/utils''
desc "Create mo-files for L10n"
task :makemo do
  GetText.create_mofiles(true, "po", "locale")
end
desc "Update pot/po files to match new version."
task :updatepo do
  GetText.update_pofiles("jdoe_engine",
Dir.glob("{app,lib}/**/*.{rb,rhtml}"),
                         "jdoe_engine #{version}")
end

vendor/plugins/foo/Rakefile.

$ cd vendor/plugins/foo
$ rake updatepo

Did you check samples/rails/vendor/plugins/gettext in gettext gem ?

Engines is not simple plugin as you say. 
But recently, I''ve get some questions like yours.
So, with next version of Ruby-GetText, engines will be able to use GetText
easier.
Also I''ll write a tutorial for it after releasing next version of
GetText.

# Already, I''ve implemented some code for this on CVS. 
# You can try it, but there''ve been no sample yet, though.

Anyway, thanks for trying Ruby-GetText.
