hi,  
I’m using i18n with Rails 2.2.2 to internationalize my rails  
application.  
I’ve followed the steps as specified at:

>
> Easy, affordable options for you to obtain the domain you want. Safe and secure shopping.

But …I get the following error when I try to run it:  
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!  
You might have expected an instance of Array.  
The error occurred while evaluating nil.inject  
1:  
2:

## \<%= I18n.t :hello\_world %\>
  
3:   
  
4: 
## \<%= I18n.t :hello\_everyone %\>
  
5:
