Hi,

I am just wondering what would be the best program for ruby files  
localization?

Has anyone had any experience? Preferably on linux:)

regards,

I usually use r18n for non-rails projects (Rails uses i18n, this is  
more featureful, but also more complex), which comes in three  
flavours: For Rails, for Sinatra, and for normal desktop applications  
with CUI/GUI. Given your description you should try r18n-desktop.
