Multi-lang/non-english site using Ruby-GetText/problems.

Hi All! I am developing a non-english app using Rails 2.0.2. I would like to use the Ruby-GetText package to handle I18n but for the life of me I can’t figure out/understand the documentation/how-to’s for installing/configuring the Ruby-GetText package. Does anyone know of an updated how-to, or care to share any experience? I considered Globalize and got it installed in a test environment but I don’t like the fact that it stores everything in the DB so I would have to provide DB access to my translators so I’m back to GetText. Any help?

Thank you, Ben

Hi Benjamin, I just learned how to use gettext following this tutorial:

http://www.suite75.net/blog/dev/tutorial-gettext-for-rails-in-8-steps.html

Just note my comment on placing the require in environment.rb.
