I’m trying to get Globalization to work using the globalize plugin.  
In their sample application they use in\_place\_editor to edit the  
translate strings.

\<%= in\_place\_editor “tr\_#{tr.id}”,  
:url =\> { :action =\> :set\_translation\_text, :id =\> tr.id },  
:load\_text\_url =\> url\_for({ :action =\> :translation\_text, :id =\>  
tr.id })%\>

I get the following error: undefined method `in\_place\_editor’

I use Rails 2.0.1 and read that in\_place\_editor, just as auto\_complet,  
got kicked out of rails converted to plugins. I tried installing the  
plugin (script/plugin install in\_place\_editor) but the plugin could  
not be found. The only plugin I could find was Improved  
in\_place\_editor. I installed this plugin, but still got the same  
error.

Try installing the plugin as:

script/plugin install
