Hey,

I wrote a gem called _i15r_ ([https://github.com/balinterdi/\*i15r](https://github.com/balinterdi/*i15r)\*).

It automates replacing “plain” strings with I18n message strings in erb  
or  
haml templates which is a rather boring process when done manually. I’m  
posting it here so that it gets some exposure and hopefully feedback. So  
I  
encourage you to run it in your ruby projects and let me know how it  
worked  
out for you (see my email in the project’s repo)

I also wanted to add it to the ruby i18n wiki  
([http://ruby-i18n.org/wiki](http://ruby-i18n.org/wiki))  
for the same reason but I did not find a way to edit the repo. Can  
someone  
please do it or let me know if there is a way for me to do that?

Thank you,  
Balint
