Hi,
as far as I understand is Globalize adding every not translated
message to the database
during runtime of the application? (if method translate() is called)
That means one need run the application and visit every page in any
constellation
to get every message to the database to then afterwards translating
them. And
this for each language to be supported except the default one?
Is there any tool or way right now to collect every message without
running the
application? Like with Gettext?
Or do I misunderstand the function of Globalize in this case?
Thanx in advance.
Thomas

THere is no such function.
Anyway I have writen one to sarch in all views and controllers and also
translate the errr messages.
Look here:
#this one will parse all views and contrller from disk to search
strings that need to be translated. It also will add to the DB the error
message as needing translation
def get_translatable_strings
@strs = []
Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views//.rhtml").collect do |f|
@strs << File.read(f).scan(/["’]([A-Za-z0-9% ])["’].t/)
end.uniq.flatten.uniq
@new_strs=Array.new
@[email protected]
0.upto @strs.size-1 do |i|
@strs[i].each do |str|
@new_strs << str
end
end
@strs = []
Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers//.rb").collect do |f|
@strs << File.read(f).scan(/["’]([A-Za-z0-9% ])["’].t/)
end.uniq.flatten.uniq
@[email protected]
0.upto @strs.size-1 do |i|
@strs[i].each do |str|
@new_strs << str
end
end
@new_strs=@new_strs.uniq.sort
Locale::LOCALES.values.each do |loc|
Locale.set “#{loc}”
@new_strs.each do |str|
str.to_s.translate
end
ActiveRecord::Errors.default_error_messages.each_value do
|error_msg|
error_msg.translate
end
end
end
Thank you for your contribution Eduard.
I am saving myself pretty some work using it.
Still, I have (tried to have) improve your code a little, mainly the
regexp:
def harvest
@strs = []
allowed = ’ \w0-9%:;@&#<>/\?!+)(-=*’
regexp =
Regexp.new(’"["].t|’[’].t’)
Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views//*.rhtml").collect do |f|
@strs << File.read(f).scan(regexp)
end
@new_strs=Array.new
@[email protected]
0.upto @strs.size-1 do |i|
if @strs[i] then
@strs[i].each do |str|
@new_strs << str
end
end
end
@strs = []
Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers//*.rb").collect do |f|
@strs << File.read(f).scan(regexp)
end
@[email protected]
0.upto @strs.size-1 do |i|
if @strs[i] then
@strs[i].each do |str|
@new_strs << str
end
end
end
@new_strs=@new_strs.uniq.sort
LOCALES.each do |key,loc|
Locale.set loc
@new_strs.each do |str|
str.to_s.translate
end
ActiveRecord::Errors.default_error_messages.each_value do
|error_msg|
error_msg.translate
end
end
end
I’m getting the following error , I have added the above method in
method in application helper file and called from one of the view but
got the follwoing error
uninitialized constant ApplicationHelper::LOCALES
Could u give me more information about it (i.e how to use it)?
