Hi,

I''m a newbie to rails and find the framework very well designed. 
However, I have to develop for the French and Belgian market, wich means 
the primary language is french and sometimes need i18n. I started to 
evaluate ruby-gettext, as it allows me to translate rails validation 
errors, including model and attribute names. I follow the tutorial at 
http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/chapter/105, and finally solved each 
problem, except one.

when I call rakeupdatepo (wich itself call  GetText.update_pofiles()), 
it sometimes warm me of errors (sometimes that the charset is not 
defined in a header, sometimes just "parse error"). If I launch the
same
command one second later, all go fine. The problem is that on each 
error, my .po files are empty. The second execution recreates them wich 
all the strings to translate, but of course my previous translated 
strings are gone.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas

PS: I develop on mac os x using locomotive.

I suspect your po-file is something wrong. 
e.g.) charset is not set. 
      charset and the messages in the po-file isn''t same.

If the above hints don''t help you,
show the log messages and your both of pot-file and po-file.
