Hi all, Just wondering... Are there any plans to include i18n support in Rails anytime soon? I guess this is about the only feature I''m realy missing in Rails. Any thoughts?

In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

Hello everyone! Pushing my new rails project I stumbled upon some weird problem. I cannot force WeBRICK to show me my MySQL records in UTF-8. All I recieve into the object (instead of russian letters) are question marks (a la ?????? style). I am running MySQL 4.1 (the one with switchable charsets) and a binary Ruby extension for it, all on OSX. To me it looks like MySQL never recieves what I

Which has better support for Unicode, I18N and RTL languages, RedCloth or BlueCloth? Warren -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060531/a2f1f7da/attachment.html

I am disappointed about the (seeming) lack of Unicode support in Rails. Is there a howto about working the most important limitations? For example, figuring out the length of an entered word: "???".length() will return 6, not 3. So if there is a maximum number of characters a user is allowed to enter, this won''t work as it should -- it treats strings as byte arrays instead

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

I have a subversion repo on a Debian Sarge server. I do rails development on two Debian workstations (home, work) and also a MacBookPro. I installed subversion from Darwinports. Things worked ok for a while and I did commits from and updates to all three machines until today. When I did svn status I noticed a lock on the working dir. $ svn status ? Rakefile ? readme ! L . .... etc I cannot

Hey guys, We''ve been talking about the multi-byte patch and I think it''s time to get feedback from you guys on a possible way forward. We can include ActiveSupport::Multibyte with rails 1.2, and update all of the relevant helpers to use the String#chars proxy. This will mean that none of the action view helpers will mangle multibyte strings. Similarly, if any Strings are being

Looks like I have skipped on this, but still - a couple of questions: 1) Why there suddenly is an OrderedHash in ActiveSupport? (this glaring omission from ruby core is present in many apps already) 2) Why it doesn''t match the semantics of Hash respectively? 3) Why it''s #nodoc ? -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at julik.nl

Hello Campers! Is it just me or does Camping init the session twice on a redirect? If I have an app and when the user visits it for the first time, a session is generated. Afterwards I redirect the user in a service (that basically does auth) and he gets bounced to the login page - but when I arrive at the login page my SID somehow has changed :-( so there is a stale session dangling

If I were to serve files, would send_file via rails be slow? I think they will be 200mb avi files. Would it be better to send them via /public ? But I would like to track the clicks on each file - which makes me think that I can''t serve them out on /public as those clicks will not go through my application. Any help or suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to get substring from a utf-8 encoded string. (say, first 50 characters of the string) String#[0..49] would give me the first 50 bytes not 50 characters.. I know there is jcode library, but it only let you count number of characters in utf-8 string. unicode gem doesn''t seem to help much. unicode_hacks gem seem to solve the problem, but it also seems to

Hey, campineros. And many good handshakes to zimbatm for getting some patches applied. So, yeah, I''d really like to get rid of any serious dependancies with this 1.6 release. Anything that''s not in stdlib has to go. Of course, camping-omnibus will still assume the whole ActiveRecord, Markaby, Mongrel setup that''s in the history books. Metaid can be removed and

I wonder - do we have some helper/processor/gem to automatically convert all URLs in a passed string to their canonical equivalent - i.e. with the protocol, host and such prepended based on the Rails environment. Super-duper infty for RSS feeds (I hate their requirement for canonical URLs everywhere). -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at

TO everyone who is making use of unicode_hacks! I have made irreversible changes to the plugin so that the routings are no longer overloaded. To call the character-bound routines, you need to use the "chars" or "u" accessors, as outlined in the docs http://julik.nl/code/unicode-hacks/index.html and in this blog post by Thijs:

I have a <ul> that contains a number of list items, and I''m using the sortable_element helper to reorder then via drag-and-drop. This works great, however, when I insert a new <li> into the <ul> with Ajax, the sortable_element doesn''t know about it. Is there a way to refresh this collection? Thanks for any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The html document various characters like ? \xa0 ? \xa9 (Copyright symbol) (and others). I tried using html2text.py but it didn't like these characters. Any ideas on how I can use iconv or another tool to convert documents like this so I can then convert to Markdown? I don't want to do manually as I have around 500+ documents. Jeremy C. Reed
