Hi all!

I’m having some troubles since I’m using rails 2.3.8 and XSS plugin. All  
data  
from I18n yaml files is now escaped! That’s not what I want, and it  
seems  
pretty logic that data from these files should be safe for html.

So my question is: how do I do that please? I already tried with an  
initializer and alias\_method\_chain on the I18n module translate method,  
but so  
far no luck (works great in console but not in views…)

Thanks!

Ok just found that now I have to add ‘html’ to all I18n keys that use  
html in  
their translations for this to work properly…

While I can understand this approach, it’s quite annoying when migrating  
an  
app from a previous version ☹
