Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) library and tool which is modeled after the GNU gettext package. This library translates original messages to localized messages using client-side locale information(environment variable, using system locale API or CGI variable). The tools for developers support creating, useing, and modifying localized message files(message catalogs). ## ScreenShots Screenshots in 23 languages (Sample Rails blog) are: [http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/?ruby-gettext-screenshot](http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/?ruby-gettext-screenshot) – Masao M.
