Internationalizing your Rails application using GetText
One of the reasons I've been a little hesitant about writing my application using Rails has been its lack of i18n support. Most of the Java frameworks have great i18n support, many of the PHP frameworks also support i18n. It might not be a requirement for everyone to make a website support multiple locales, but for me, it definitely is.
So when I read about this new article up on the www.rubyonrails.com website, I was very excited. I think I finally have all the features required for me to develope my web site using the Rails framework. The article shows you how to use Gnu's gettext utility to make your Rails application locale aware. The instructions are very clear and well written. It's definitely not a simple 1-2-3 step procedure, but if you are serious about internationalizing your site using Rails, then its worth the effort.
