Hi,

When sending mails often enough they are sent to another party than  
the current logged in user (like when commenting on a blog).

It would be nice to be able to specify a local I18n for ActionMailer.

There is a plugin that does this:  
[http://github.com/Bertg/i18n\_action\_mailer](http://github.com/Bertg/i18n_action_mailer)

In my case it doesn’t work because apparently it conflicts with the  
translator plugin, from what I can tell they both overwrite the  
translate method.

I have no idea how to fix this though.
