[1] “Using Gettext To Translate Your Rails Application” [Peak Obsession](http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/105) And also, I wrote a simple document for Ruby-GetText/RoR. See [http://ponx.s5.xrea.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html](http://ponx.s5.xrea.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html) Regards, Masao. On Thu, 29 Dec 2005 17:06:21 +0900 ---
