When I was creating the thread I thought about slavic languages, but it seems I missed many of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender#List_of_languages_by_type_of_grammatical_genders Some of them don't have neuter. > Are you aware that you can define validation messages > per attribute?

I've been using edge rails since it has i18n (by the way, it's really one of the best features rails got ever :). But in application with 10+ models, a few validation messages each... It's a lot easier to just drop in "validates_presence_of :title, :description" and don't worry about setting custom messages for all of the fields. Besides I've allways envied english speaking programmers the ease of generating text automagically ;-) Now I have this power too! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "rails-i18n" group.
