hey all,
I’ve just installed globalize, I did the svn checkout and the rake
globalize:setup command.
Now I want to translate some of the string in my views, as an example
<%=
“some strings”.t %> but I don’t know how to do this. I mean, I know I
need
to put the .t thing but then where do I put the translated string and
the
language I want to translate it to? I searched through the wiki but
couldn’t
find it. I know that’s some basic stuff but I have no idea how to do it.
Any idea?
thanx in advance
Pat
Hi Patrick,
I’m exactly in the same situation than you!!!
If someone could help us…
I’ve looked at a lot of tutorials but I can’t make it works. Does
someone has a good tutorial which explain that step by step?
THANKS!
Monica
Hi guys, and welcome aboard!
You’ll find the answer in Sven’s excellent tutorial:
http://www.artweb-design.de/2006/11/10/globalize-five-minutes-instant-overview
It’s under the heading “How to add ViewTranslations”:
lang = Language.pick(‘de-DE’)
Locale.set_translation(‘Welcome’, lang, ‘Willkommen’)
The idea is to create a web interface in your app that will call this
code and allow the translator to translate your site online.
Best,
Josh
The answer is that there are many answers 
Basically your translations are stored in a database table (named
globalize_translations). So what you are looking for is a way to edit
rows in the database table.
You could edit the rows directly by using a console client, a
database web interface or gui client.
You can build your own translation manager web interface on Rails -
which is what Szymek guides you through here: <http://wiki.globalize-
rails.org/globalize/show/Example+Application>
Or you can add translations “manually” through your own code (i.e. in
the script/console). I’ve mentioned an example of this here: <http://
www.artweb-design.de/2006/11/10/globalize-five-minutes-instant-overview>
Hope this helps to get you started.

Thanks for the answer! I had already reached that point!
Yes, my database is working with the proper table and translations, and
I’ve checked it with the script/console, etc…
But my problem is that when I write in my view something like <%=
“Name”.t%>, to get the proper string “name” in the language I specify
before… (and is stored in my data base, of course, in the translations
table).
But… WHERE and WHEN have I specified the language? (Locale.set(“en-Us”)
for example)???
Could someone clarify my doubts…? What am I missing in the process?
Thanks a lot,
Monica
