Hi all, There has been a lot of discussion struck up in #merb on freenode regarding merb's approach to internationalization and Localization. It's worth it to put together a thread as the jumping off point for some organization since a lot of people appear to be interested in this and appear to be hacking up solutions independently.
Background info: Merb has some localization hooks built in (http://github.com/wycats/ merb/tree/master/merb-helpers/spec/numeric_extlib_spec.rb ), but otherwise localization is left as an exercise for the developer. Full support for internationalization and unicode is a target for merb 2.0, along with ruby 1.9 support which i've heard rumors is targeted for a less than 12mo release cycle atm. Existing libs: Mattetti has done some work on localization and has started in on a library called merb_babel, which you can find at: http://github.com/mattetti/merb_babel/tree/master . The solution he's used is to tie merb_babel together with another lib he's got for merb that was extracted from ActiveSupport's unicode support (http:// github.com/mattetti/multibyte/tree/master). Antifuchs in #merb also pointed out the merb_global lib as well (which i haven't checked out) at http://github.com/myabc/merb_global/tree/master So, what else do people want to know? What are the requirements for localization that people have for their apps? (we can fire up a wiki page for this based on what comes out of this thread) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
