Ruby I18n

Ruby Internationalization and localization solution.

Features:

• translation and localization
• interpolation of values to translations (Ruby 1.9 compatible syntax)
• pluralization (CLDR compatible)
• flexible defaults
• bulk lookup
• lambdas as translation data
• custom key/scope separator
• custom exception handlers
• extensible architecture with a swappable backend

Experimental, pluggable features:

• lambda pluralizers stored as translation data
• RFC4647 compliant locale fallbacks (with optional RFC4646 locale validation)
• backend cache

Fast backend

This fork includes a Fast backend that optimizes for the most common lookups and makes them about 20x (for t(:'foo.bar.baz')) or 6x (for t(:'foo.bar.baz', :a=>'A', :b=>'B')) times faster than the original Simple backend. The Fast backend is slightly less memory efficient and is slower to reload!, but should be a great choice for production environment.

Branches

2-3-stable branch is for the old I18n gem shipped with Rails 2.3 master is for the current I18n gem version

Usage

Clone the repo as a plugin into your Rails app.

  # in initializer or enviroment.rb
  I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Fast.new
