I don’t know what could have modified the environment… I did not touch anything related to I18n… testing in the console , I can see it’s up and running , but something is wrong in loading the yml files ( I tried with just one simple and basic yml file … same issue), where should I look for anything wrong ? $ rails c Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.3) ruby-1.9.2-p0 \> I18n.locale =\> :en > I18n.back:Fallbacks)end(:include, I18n::Backend: > =\> I18n::Backend::Simple > I18n.fallbacks.map(‘de’ =\> ‘en’) > =\> {“de”=\>“en”} BUT ruby-1.9.2-p0 \> I18n.t(:hello) ArgumentError: syntax error on line 53, col 241: `' from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 135:in`load’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 135:in `load' from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 146:in`block in load\_file’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 145:in `open' from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 145:in`load\_file’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@rails3/gems/i18n-0.5.0/lib/ i18n/backend/base.rb:170:in `load_yml' from /Users/yves/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@rails3/gems/i18n-0.5.0/lib/ i18n/backend/base.rb:156:in`load\_file’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@rails3/gems/i18n-0.5.0/lib/ i18n/backend/base.rb:15:in `block in load_translations' from /Users/yves/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@rails3/gems/i18n-0.5.0/lib/ i18n/backend/base.rb:15:in`each’ … I also tried the date translation : today = Time.now =\> 2010-12-28 09:29:51 +0100 ruby-1.9.2-p0 \> I18n.l(today) ArgumentError: syntax error on line 53, col 241: `' from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 135:in`load’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 135:in `load' from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 146:in`block in load\_file’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 145:in `open' from /Users/yves/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/syck.rb: 145:in`load\_file’ from /Users/yves/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@rails3/gems/i18n-0.5.0/lib/ i18n/backend/base.rb:170:in `load\_yml’ ---

You have some error on line 52 (or 53) in your yaml file (I usually forget a " at the end whle having one at the beginning or have some forbidden yaml chr test by deleting line 52 and 53 * * * Hans M.

got it … I inserted a puts filepath when ruby was loading the files … and found the wrong file … missing space between the key and the value… thanks I upgraded my gems yesterday … I was using I18n 0.4.2 in my gemfile and upgraded to 0.5.0 so I was not sure where the error could come from… Happy New Year to Sweden ! ( I love Stockholm… been there sailing …) ---
