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) ## ScreenShots Screenshots in 22 languages (Sample Rails blog) are: [http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/?ruby-gettext-screenshot](http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/?ruby-gettext-screenshot) ## Status of translations - Bosnian(bs) - 1.90.0 (old) - Catalan(ca) - 1.92.0 - Croatian(hr) - 1.90.0 (old) - Chinese(zh\_CN) - 1.92.0 - Chinese(zh\_TW) - 1.92.0 - Czech(cs) - 1.9.0 (old) - Dutch(nl) - 1.90.0 (old) - English(default) - 1.90.0 (old) - Esperanto(eo) - 1.92.0 - Estonian(et) - 1.9.0 (old, rails.po only) - French(fr) - 1.90.0 (old) - German(de) - 1.92.0 - Greek(el) - 1.92.0 - Hungarian(hu) - 1.92.0 - Italian(it) - 1.6.0 (old) - Japanese(ja) - 1.92.0 - Korean(ko) - 1.9.0 (old) - Latvian(lv) - 1.92.0 (new) - Norwegian(nb) - 1.92.0 - Portuguese(Brazil)(pt\_BR) - 1.92.0 - Russian(ru) - 1.92.0 - Serbian(sr) - 1.91.0 (old) - Spanish(es) - 1.92.0 - Swedish(sv) - 0.8.0 (too much old) - Ukrainian(ua) - 1.92.0 - Vietnamese(vi) - 1.92.0 ## Can you help us?/ Can we help you?

I am getting the following now with edge rails: Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0) /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 /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:25: warning: already initialized constant Rails /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:432: warning: already initialized constant MESSAGESS /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:433: warning: already initialized constant NMINUTES /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:434: warning: already initialized constant NHOURS /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:435: warning: already initialized constant NDAYS /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:436: warning: already initialized constant NMONTHS /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.92.0/lib/gettext/rails.rb:437: warning: already initialized constant NYEARS /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 In fairness, once I did rake rails:freeze:edge I got the same with 1.91.0 ---

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) On Sat, 2 Aug 2008 05:58:20 -0700 (PDT) phil [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > warning: already initialized constant MESSAGESS > /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 > > In fairness, once I did rake rails:freeze:edge I got the same with > 1.91.0 > > > – .:% Masao M.[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

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.
