another instruction and example application can be found at the gettext_i18n_rails plugin(which takes care of most of these steps) page http://github.com/grosser/gettext_i18n_rails/tree/master

ah I want to add a tip,

if you use html.erb for your views, you need to change the localization.rake file,
visit http://zargony.com/2007/07/29/using-ruby-gettext-with-edge-rails for more info..

Cheers,

Another tip… I store the language selected by the user when she clicks on a flag to change it, on session[:lang].

To make gettext get this same language as the default locale, you can try this on application.rb:

before_filter :default_language
before_init_gettext :set_locale_from_session

def default_language
# My default language is spanish, ‘es’
session[:lang]=’es’ if !session[:lang]
end

def set_locale_from_session
set_locale session[:lang]
end

Thanks for the tutorial! Some notes:

* require ‘gettext/rails’ should be in config/environment.rb instead of application.rb

This is the first tutorial that helped me get my gettext working.

Thanks for the great work!
