Hello all,

I have a project where I’m using active\_scaffold and would also like to  
use  
i18n over it.  
While the i18n works fine if I just ignore the active\_scaffold, I  
couldn’t  
get it running with it.  
I searched through its docs and googled quite a bit. Can I use i18n with  
active\_scaffold?

thanks

cheers

Philippe,

Simple Localization apparently has support for Active Scaffold  
translation.

I do not however know what the the implications of recent I18n changes  
in Rails have been to either Simple Localization or Active Scaffold.

Well, we’re using Simple Localization in several of our apps and are  
postponing upgrading them to Rails 2.2 since Simple Localization  
doesn’t work with it. I still find it superior to what Rails itself  
currently offers though. Also note that the last activity on the  
plugin was 7 months ago (although I noticed a recent import into  
github), so if you want Rails 2.2 compatibility, you’ll either have to  
wait or do it yourself. We probably will some time in the future (or  
switch to Rails I18n), but we simply don’t have the time right now.

Best regards
