How to set the default language in GetText?
The default language of GetText is en,and I want to change it to another
language,and also keep the ability to change to any other languages by
just click the according href.
Currently I use:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :set_charset
def set_charset
@headers[“Content-Type”] = “text/html; charset=utf-8”
cookies[“lang”] = ‘zh_CN’
end
end
But the language will not switch to my want until the next refresh.Could
I set the default language from en to others in some way?

Thanks

Here is a sample of application.rb:

require ‘gettext/rails’
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
prepend_before_filter :default_locale
def default_locale
if (cookies[“lang”].nil? or cookies[“lang”].empty?)
GetText.locale = “zh_CN”
else
GetText.locale = cookies[“lang”]
end
end
init_gettext “yourapp”
end

Currently I use:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :set_charset
def set_charset
@headers[“Content-Type”] = “text/html; charset=utf-8”
cookies[“lang”] = ‘zh_CN’
end
end
But the language will not switch to my want until the next refresh.Could

Because you call “set_charset” method after calling init_gettext.

BTW, you shouldn’t set Content-Type by yourself with
Ruby-GetText-Package.
It may cause other problem.
