What’s this?

Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) library and tool
which is modeled after the GNU gettext package.

This library translates original messages to localized
messages using client-side locale information(environment
variable, using system locale API or CGI variable).

The tools for developers support creating, useing, and modifying
localized message files(message catalogs).

does this version support rails 2.2.x?

i would recommend to simply switch to fast_gettext

, a simpler/cleaner/faster/efficient solution that will not break when
any part of rails is updated, since it cooperates with I18n (through
gettext_i18n_rails plugin).
