Not sure about the other two, but this last one is because the i18n guide has
now been updated for Rails 3 - you'll want to work from an older version (this
is one:
http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/968a0ad502ea9cfd28fab1acd92b577bec1b669e/railties/guides/source/i18n.textile
) for 2.3.
I'm not sure how the suggestion there (using path_prefix) will interact with
the Hobo router, though...
