Hi,
we're starting a new development and currently studying which localization plugin or gem to use. The requirements are the following:
* REST support * Translations of views, but also validation errors and if possible models * Support for regionalization numbers, dates, currencies based on the current locale setting (this is very important, since otherwise it can be quite a pain to parse all these different formats)
I've been looking at: * Globalize: seems a bit outdated. The web claims Rails 1.2 support, but i've read there is a patch for the head revision to make it work under Rails 2.0.2. I also don't like much the way of translating strings rather than IDs, because sometimes the same word can have one meaning in the original language and different meanings in other languages... Also i rather prefer file than DB storage...
* GetText
* Simple Localization: http://simple-localization.arkanis.de/ Has anyone had experience with this plugin? It seems to have all i need?
What is your experience? Any suggestions??
Cheers! Alberto.
