Please help me to clean up the information in  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/InternationalizationComparison](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/InternationalizationComparison)  
and answer the following questions:

Is Multilingual a (depricated) pre-version of Globalize?

If not, is it dead?

If one of the above is true I’d like to remove Multilingual from the  
feature comparision table.

Thanks! - Bernd

Multilingual is a project by Per Wigren that does not seem to havebeen  
in active development for some time. Globalize took many ideasfrom  
Multilingual and was at one early stage called “Multilingual”,but the  
two projects have little in common now.  
Since Multilingual does not seem to be in active development, I thinkyou  
can remove it from the table, unless anybody knows differently.Keep up  
the great work!
