Translate to one language: Globalize is overkill?

Hi,
I am developing a Rails application which should be in ONE language (not
English).

Globalize seems overkill for this purpose (do you agree?).

So I’m trying some of the approaches on the wiki. In particular:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/OverridingRailsMessagesInAnotherLanguage

This does override the month names, but does not override the error
messages.
I’m wondering:

  • is the code correct?
  • should errors.rb be located in overrides/active_record/errors.rb, or
    can it also be in overrides/errors.rb. I.e. does the location matter?

The override method described in
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToLocalizeActiveRecordErrors
does work for ActiveRecord errors.

Or perhaps I should forget all this and look at Globalize?

Thanks,
Mike

Try checking out http://rutils.rubyforge.org/ as a russian language
translation. You can get the idea.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand a thing from this site.

Found the problem. Apparently Rails now has separate validations for
:blank
:empty
as well as a few new ones (since the Wiki entries were made).
I’ll update the Wiki.

Thanks,
Mike
