Thats a great link ... showed me how the locals should look. But there
is a problem or two.
The app is programmed in English because of the pluralize that rails
does to avoid errors when it won't know how to pluralize a foreign
word and the localization refers to them via model name. ex: "The
{{model}} was created successfully" and sure translating the text is
no problem :) but I need a way to alias the plural and singular forms
of the model name in the app because keeping the sentence half in one
language and half in the other thats a mess.
Any ideas ?
