Hi Kapil,

It’s not really a I18n question, but okay.

You should take a look at carrierwave and paperclip. Both are excellent  
upload gems. Carrierwave has my preference.

Carrierwave: [GitHub - carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave: Classier solution for file uploads for Rails, Sinatra and other Ruby web frameworks](https://github.com/jnicklas/carrierwave)  
Paperclip: [GitHub - thoughtbot/paperclip: Easy file attachment management for ActiveRecord](https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip)

So it’s certainly possible to upload many files in one request. Make  
sure  
you configure apache/nginx to handle large files though.
