After installing and configuring of globalize I started testing on a  
small app. The problem I now have is that both Model.new and  
Model.update\_attributes return nil instead of true on a successful  
create or update.

Any idears on why this is?

My misstake - I used the old version without support for raisl 1.1 which  
I ran. Installing the version that supports 1.1 solved the problem.
