Hi,

my gettext in Edge Rails worked very well, until i localised my Mailer  
templates and renamed them like told here:  
[http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html](http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html)  
(Localized templates for Views/ActionMailer).

My other templates were localized via \_(), not by name.

But then, Rails looked at each action for localized templates, not  
only in the mailer.  
(“Couldn’t find template file for users/\_user\_de in …”)

So I reverted everything, but it didn’t work either, rails is still  
looking for localized templates.

Does anyone know, how I can manage localized templates only for the  
mailer?

Thanks,  
Beate
