Global Translator Plugin?

Hello,

I am looking for a simple way to automate translating my site into different languages.

I believe that the most appropriate way for Ruby on Rails is to use Globalize.

I have just started looking through the docs and want to verify that this is the best way to accomplish such translation.

I notice that wordpress has a Global Translator Plugin (http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/) that seems to provide a very simple and elegant translation for content. An example site using it is: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/ with the french version at: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/fr/

Is Globalize the Rails equivalent of Gloabl Translator Plugin? Are there other options?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

You should take a look at the new l18n stuff in rails 2.2: http://www.artweb-design.de/2008/7/18/the-ruby-on-rails-i18n-core-api
