I’ve just tagged Globalize2 v0.1.1 and merged the 0.2.0 to master.

Globalize2 v0.2.0 will ship no features except model translations.

The first version of Gobalize2 had to implement a few things that had  
not made it into the I18n gem yet, such as locale fallbacks, extensible  
pluralization etc. Now that these things are available in the I18n gem  
the Static backend and related stuff could be stripped off from  
Globalize2.

Feedback and bug reports are highly appreciated 🙂

Sven,

I use Globalize on a daily basis ([http://tw.japan-guide.com/](http://tw.japan-guide.com/)) and have  
a lot to thank you for, so I am glad to see a new version! 🙂

One question:

Was eager loading stripped out or replaced somehow in this update?  
Looks like the new “with\_translations” named scope serves a similar  
purpose but since there are practically no cases were I don’t want to  
load translated data I had :include =\> :globalize\_translations as a  
default\_scope and it seems this doesn’t work anymore?

Ah, never mind. I see now that the association has been renamed from  
“globalize\_translations” to “translations” and this was causing the  
problem!

Yeah, you should not need the Static backend. That’s an outdated  
extension of Simple that we’ve shipped with Globalize2 v1 because I18n  
missed a bunch of features we wanted for Globalize2 (such as Fallbacks).  
Meanwhile these features have all been moved to I18n and the old crufty  
Static backend is not up to date anymore.

> i need 0.3.3 gem to get globalize 0.2.0 working?

Ah, year. That’s probably right. The Fallbacks module has been in I18n  
only since (iirc) 0.3.x

Thanks for the headsup!

Whoops, I’ve probably missed your last email.

Yeah, I’ve renamed the association because people complained that  
:include =\> :globalize\_translations etc seems overly verbose. I should  
probably add that to the readme or something.

Hi Sven!

> Globalize2 v0.2.0 will ship no features except model translations.

How about a note in the Readme? I was using Globalize2 for a while and  
wondered, where all the cool features were gone after an update. 😉  
Gonna install i18n in a sec.

Also, I think there are too many outdated websites about Rails i18n  
out there. I’m not sure if you can do anything about it, but I think  
web pages like [http://globalize-rails.org/](http://globalize-rails.org/) and [http://rails-i18n.org/](http://rails-i18n.org/)  
should have prominent links or even redirect to  
[GitHub - joshmh/globalize2: The second incarnation of Globalize for Rails](http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2)  
and [GitHub - ruby-i18n/i18n: Internationalization (i18n) library for Ruby](http://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n), this mailing list or . If I see  
things like “Last update in may 2007”, I would consider those project  
as dead.

Regards, Johannes
