Hi,
I am using Globalize plug-in extensively and I made some “tuning” to it.
- First I have added a method to search for strings that should be
translated (not visiting every page from the site). - Then I added a new method to be able to pass an array of arguments to
a string like: “%s likes %s and %s gave him %d bottles of %s”.t /John
/milk /Doe /5 /beer This result into many strings added to the DB
because .t method is called for each replacement.
I added .t_p method that works like:
“%s likes %s and %s gave him %d bottles of %s”.t_p(“John”, “milk”,
“Doe”, 5, “beer”) - Then a simple class with one method to auto translates strings using
bublefish powered by Systran.
All are very simple codes, but I think that it might help on a starting
project with globalize.
Codes:
2. In core_ext.rb add this:
def translate_p(arg = nil, default= nil)
Locale.translate(self, default, arg)
enD
alias :t_p :translate_p
Then in db_view_translator.rb change the fetch methid with this one:
def fetch(key, language, default = nil, arg = nil) # :nodoc:
# hack for “%d %d”.t / [1,2]
if arg.kind_of?(Array)
real_default = default || key
result = fetch_from_cache(key, language, real_default, 1)
arg.each do |x|
if x.kind_of?(Numeric)
result.sub!('%d',x.to_s)
else
result.sub!('%s',x.to_s)
end
end
return result
# end of hack
else
# use argument as pluralization number, if number
num = arg.kind_of?(Numeric) ? arg : nil
# if there's no translation, use default or original key
real_default = default || key
result = fetch_from_cache(key, language, real_default, num)
if num
return result.sub('%d', num.to_s)
else
return arg.nil? ? result : result.sub('%s', arg.to_s)
end
end
end
1.add this to any controller and call it
def get_translateable_strings
Locale.clear_cache
Locale.translator.cache_reset
@strs = []
#getting untraslated strings from views (.rhtml files)
Dir.glob(“#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views//*.rhtml").collect do |f|
ll = File.read(f).scan(/"["].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
ll = File.read(f).scan(/'['].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
end
#getting untraslated strings from helpers
Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/helpers//.rb").collect do |f|
ll = File.read(f).scan(/"["].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
ll = File.read(f).scan(/'['].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
end
#getting untraslated strings from controllers
Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/**/.rb”).collect do |f|
ll = File.read(f).scan(/"["].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
ll = File.read(f).scan(/'['].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
end
#getting untraslated strings from environment.rb
Dir.glob(“#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/environment.rb”).collect do |f|
ll = File.read(f).scan(/"["].[t|t_p]/)
@strs << ll
end
@new_strs=Array.new

LOCALES.values.each do |loc|
Locale.set “#{loc}”
