Thanks for the questions! I just added a new how-to page to the wiki:
http://globalize.diluvia.net/wiki/pages/How+To

Let me know if that answers your first question. As for your second
question, what do you mean exactly by defining available languages?

Also, your idea of including a tiny example app is a good one. I’ll try
to whip something up as soon as I have some time. Or if anyone else
wants to volunteer, let me know.

Yes I did and the installation all described on the documentation are
ok. What I need is a working rails example to understand how I’ll store
the translated text on the database for each language, how do I define
available languages etc.
So a small rails application with one table and a couple of data
translated I think would help some new ruby programmers like me :slight_smile:

Try this out:

I ripped it out of some stuff I’m working on, so no guarantees, but
feedback is welcome, as always.

Thanks Joshua. This clears some things out for sure.
What I have to figure out now is how to include the translation process
in the application so I don’t have to type the translations from the
console in order to enter them in the db.
Thanks

I believe a template is missing.
the error I get is :
No rhtml, rxml, or delegate template found for
translate/_translation_text

and it must come from :
<%= render :partial => ‘translation_text’, :object => tr.text %>

As I said I’m a newby in Ruby ans Rails so maybe I do something wrong

I’ll try to get Jeremy to post some more examples of this… he’s
currently on a plane back to Ohio for the holiday weekend. We just got
done working on a site for a client that is using Globalize for 20
languages.

I know he posted on his blog a few times about his experience with it.

We were highly impressed with how well it could be incorporated with our
application and it now works with PostgreSQL. :wink:

Thanks for this great plugin Josh!

Joshua it is working great. Thanks for all the help. I’ll try to clear

use it as an example
Thanks
