I'm using 1.8.0.

Using init_gettext generates an error message. The second suggestion 
does work, but only within the model itself, so far.

Here's what I have in the model:

require 'gettext/rails'
class Mymailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def send_a_mail(email, language)
    GetText.locale = language
    bindtextdomain 'my app'
    @subject    = _('You have a winning combination!')
    @recipients = email
  end

This succesfully translates the subject, but the body of the email (a 
view), doesn't get translated. Can I use translatable strings in the 
actionmailer views or should I created seperate files (like 
mail_nl.rhtml,...)?
