Language version of rhtml templates

Rails Rails I18n
1

I have a rails app, the lovely opinion forum, I’d like to globalize –
it uses a bunch of rhtml templates with hard-coded English text.

Should I change all the embedded text into the ugly <%= ‘Msg’.t %>
references with globalize, or rather can I gave language-specific rhtml
files? I realize it may be more work and fuzz to keep them in sync
though…

Now I was just looking at options and GNU suggests gettext – is
globalize using gettext or is it an alternative?

Cheers,
Alexy

Hey…

Use separate templates, it’s easier …

Now I was just looking at options and GNU suggests gettext – is
globalize using gettext or is it an alternative?

there is a separate gettext rails localisation plugin, globlize works a
little different but has more features like model translation… we use
globalize.
