Hey, trying to setup the Globalize plugin for my rails app. This is what  
I did so far, followed the guide at  
[http://wiki.globalize-rails.org/globalize/show/Example+Application:](http://wiki.globalize-rails.org/globalize/show/Example+Application:)

1. Created and customized my rails app. App works great.

2. script/plugin install  
svn://svn.globalize-rails.org/globalize/branches/for-1.1

3. Renamed vendor/plugins/for-1.1 directory to globalize

4. rake globalize:setup

5. Added this to my environment.rb:

include Globalize  
Locale.set\_base\_language ‘en-US’  
LOCALES = {‘sv’ =\> ‘sv-SE’,  
‘en’ =\> ‘en-US’}.freeze

1. Added this to my application.rb

before\_filter :set\_locale

def set\_locale  
if !params[:locale].nil? && LOCALES.keys.include?(params[:locale])  
Locale.set LOCALES[params[:locale]]  
else  
redirect\_to params.merge( ‘locale’ =\> Locale.base\_language.code )  
end  
end

Now when I test my app I get this error message, cant understand why…

NameError in MyController#index

uninitialized constant Locale
