What’s this?

Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) Library and Tools which is
modeled after GNU gettext package.

The library converts the messages to localized messages properly using
client-side locale information. And the tools for developers support
to create, use, and modify localized the message files(message catalogs)
easily.

Features:

  • Simple APIs(similar GNU gettext)
  • Singular/plural messages in each locales.
  • Extract strings automatically
    • rgettext command for creating po-files from files below:
      o ruby scripts
      o glade-2 XML file(.glade)
      o ERB file(.rhtml, .erb)
      o ActiveRecord (.rb)
      o Other files (you can write your own parser)
  • Create mo-files unless msgfmt(in GNU gettext tool)
    • rmsgfmt command for creating a mo-file from a po-file.
  • Have rgettext/rmsgfmt as module functions. It’s useful as Rake
    tasks.
  • The po-file is compatible to GNU gettext.
    You can maintain these files to use GNU getext tools.
  • The mo-file is compatible to GNU gettext(msgfmt).
  • multi-textdomain supported.
    You can bind plural textdomains to a class/module.
  • CGI support (gettext/cgi)
  • Ruby on Rails support (gettext/rails)

I am getting the following now with edge rails:

Hi,

How about to use config.gem instead of requiring
gettext/rails directly?

In environment.rb:
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
:
:
config.gem “gettext”, :lib => “gettext/rails” # This line
end

It works for me with Rails-2.1.0(not edge rails)

That definitely helps, and it knocks me down to just:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/
active_record.rb:238:NameError: uninitialized class variable
@@default_error_messages in ActiveRecord::Errors

Hi,

I see.
You use edge rails, not 2.1.0.

I think active_record i18n part breaks
their background compatibility and
ruby-gettext occurs the error.

Try to use 2.1.0.
