Hi guys,

how could I run this scenarion for each language?  
Is it suitable anyway?

I slightly modified the webrat steps:

Then /^I should see “([^”]\*)"$/ do |text|  
response.should contain(I18n.t(text.to\_sym))  
end

Does anybody have a hint for me?

Thanks a lot!

Rafael

It depends on exactly what value is important to the stakeholders. If  
specific messages are important, then you could use a scenario  
outline: [http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/scenario-outlines](http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/scenario-outlines)

If it is just important to display a certain message, then what you  
have done is fine. Just be aware that if you change the names of your  
translations then this test won’t catch any related bug.

I would be inclined to do the first one (Scenario Outlines). It tests  
what most people care about (the actual message).
