Internationalization in Rails 2.2

This talk will discuss how the new i18n framework of Rails 2.2 eases the translation of rails applications in multiple languages.

Probably the biggest new feature of Rails 2.2, released in November 2008, is its integrated internationalization framework, which ends a complicated past of many incompatible solutions based on various gems and plugins.

This talk will discuss the various following topics:

  • a brief recap of the history of i18n in rails
  • an explanation what the new framework does:
    • the API and its implementations
    • translation files
    • namespaces
    • interpolation and pluralization
  • a small demo of how to use the framework
  • a presentation of plugins available to extend the framework
  • a list of valuable external resources
