Hi.  
I’m currently using Rails 2.1.  
But i want to use i18n to internationalize my rails application.  
I’m trying to install rails 2.2 using:  
gem update rails  
but it gives me an error…  
Can anyone please suggest…how do I do this???  
Thank You.

C:\>gem update rails --source=[http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org)

‘Front End’ is my Rails application…  
When I try doing gem update from within my rails application…only then  
I get the error…!!!  
Anyways…  
Thanks a lot for your help…
