@Julian, you’re right; it is more about strings. I haven’t looked beyond what I’ve documented in my book–like dates, currencies, etc. You can try google-searching, or try the resources section of the book, I remember reading about these things and thinking “whoa,” since I didn’t even have the basics of I18n down yet.

Thanks — it’s great to see some examples. It’s also a shame as it does look like I18n is a lot more work. And YML — yeeks. Are there alternatives?

Perhaps you could call your book the ‘STRING internationalization’ guide? As you don’t cover other important aspects of internationalisation such as dates, currencies, Right to Left, UTF8 issues, internationalisation of images (where logos etc have local versions), etc. Perhaps you could include pointers to those?

If you have any thoughts on that lot in Rails that’d be super awesome!

If it is … I’m not laughing! Google Translate has one of the best machine translations available. Certainly, it’s not as fluent as human translations.

As I mentioned later on, you should stick to languages you yourself speak, and use Google Translate as a “crutch” to expedite the translation process. I wouldn’t risk my projects, especially if I had a lot of customers, on just Google Translate. It’s a good tool, but it’s not perfect.

“Paste the contents of your en.yml file into the text-field” on Google Translate?

And publish the results? This is a joke, right?
