to create, use, and modify localized the message files(message catalogs)  
easily.

o ruby scripts  
o glade-2 XML file(.glade)  
o ERB file(.rhtml)  
o ActiveRecord (.rb)
- rmsgfmt command for creating a mo-file from a po-file.
- The po-file is compatible to GNU gettext.  
You can maintain these files to use GNU getext tools.
- The mo-file is compatible to GNU gettext(msgfmt).
- multi-textdomain supported.  
You can select two kind of textdomain’s scope:  
o A file base (default: recommanded)

GetText::Rails)
- CGI support (gettext/cgi)
