Hi!  
I want to use translation in my rails 2.3 project with fallbacks and I  
want to have some ‘translator panel’ something like tolk. Is this  
possible to use this two solutions together? I saw that  
I18n::Backends::ActiveRecord::Translaiton is other than simmilar class  
in tolk.

I’m not sure I understand your question. Why not use Tolk and that’s it?
