Newbie on rails - language switch

Rails
1

Hello!

I’m a newbie but so far ROR is great. I am working on a new project
where i will have many forms and quite complicated database.
Anyway…there will be at least 3 different languages that will support
these forms. What is the best way to change the labels or form errors
depending on what language user have chosen. I dont want to have too
much views if i can do it better.

Do a search on Google for a localization plugin, there a few out there.

The most popular Rails multi-lingual plugin is Globalize. Its got some
nice
features.

I generally take the approach of keeping form text in a table in the
database, keyed by a message ID and language.

This way, adding a new language is just data entry (no code), unless
you support pictograph and right-to-left flows.
