Hi mates,

What I try is using partials without a controller like:

\<%= render :partial=\>“service/templates/my\_template” %\>

that works… if the file is  
app/view/service/templates/\_my\_template.rhtml

BUT now I will use the globalize-engine together with my templates like

app/view/service/templates/\_my\_template.en-GB.rhtml  
app/view/service/templates/\_my\_template.it-IT.rhtml  
… and so on…

but it doesn`t work ;-(

Anyone knows why?!?

thanks for your help!

if nobody else comes up with a really good rails-ready solution,  
then simply open the file and use  
render :inline =\> …  
to render it’s content

thanks for your help… So I tried it again… at first I used :template  
not :partial… but I have to create a controller like  
service/templates\_controller.rb … than it works!  
so I think without controllers globalize doesn`t work ☹
