Hi Sven, seems you have enough people already, but I would love to help and proofread.
Here is my initial idea for the outline: - rationale behind I18n and importantly what was decided not to do - explain that Simple I18n works out of the box, "English" is already a localization - how are the #translate and #localize methods used in a real app, with code samples - how are the built-in error messages (notably AR) handled and displayed - show what localization formats are defined: :long, :only_day, :long_ordinal etc - string interpolation and pluralization - how to set the locale via config - how to change the locale per request - delve into accept-language, session, cookie, hostname, pathinfo ways to work with locale - how to translate the simple English locale. should you want to - how to create your own Simple locale, DIY style - links to popular localization plugins Of course, many of these things are in your post already: http://www.artweb-design.de/2008/7/18/the-ruby-on-rails-i18n-core-api On Sep 20, 8:38 pm, Sven Fuchs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Calling all you awesome technical and educational writers :) > > I've been asked to contribute a guide about I18n to the Rails Guides > project: > > http://guides.rails.infohttp://hackfest.rubyonrails.org/guide > > ... and I agree that's an urgent need, maybe this should be done > before Rails 2.2 get's tagged (although nobody really seems to know > when that will happen). > > Anybody wants to help me with this? > > The Rails Guides project requires one person to sign responsible for > the guide, so I'll be happy to do that (any bounties received can be > used by the rails-i18n group).
