What's New in Edge Rails: Standard Internationalization Framework

Internationalization (i18n) is a tough nut to crack and has long been handled in Rails by a variety of plugins. Thanks to a concerted effort by the Rails i18n team we now have a standardized framework for providing internationalization.

Rather than rehash what’s already out there, head over to Sven’s writeup of the new Rails Internationalization framework for the skinny.

It’s important to note that this does not provide actual language translations but merely a way for you to plug in other translations and internationalization implementations into your app.

    I put together a little how-to for adding basic localization to a Rails app with some help from the i18n team:
