Hi,  
I am new at ruby on rails. Currently i am working on an rails  
2.0.2 application which needs to be globalised. For the purpose i am  
using globalite plugin.  
I do have a fair idea about using it  
But my problem is the translations provided for other languages are in  
encrypted format i suppose.  
for example January in my zh-CN.html.erb(chinese lang) is written as  
1月

while on my browser i can read it as 一月  
just not getting how to get this encrypted format to add new languages  
to my application.  
Please help…

It’s not encrypted, it’s probably written in UTF8 or UTF16. You just  
need a text editor that can read that (or you may need to tell your  
text editor that the file is using that encoding).
