Hello - I am a C++ and [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) programmer very interested in doing  
future projects with RoR but am concerned about Globalization features.  
Does RoR allow some sort of framework to render pages data based on  
language settings assuming I have strings in a datasource for each  
supported language?

I have developed a framework that allows the backend admin user to  
manage and create multi-cultural strings for all the [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) objects on  
a page, I just have to make the ASPX page and nothing else from me and  
I like that framework. Is there something similar? That is, my View  
will pull the proper culture/language-specific string from the  
datasource in some implicit  
way?

Thanks,  
parlous

Next time please use the Rails mailing list, not the ruby one. There is  
a globalisation plugin for Rails. You can find it through the wiki.
