Hello i18n community of rails. I've been programming RoR for a few
years now, and want to test my chops contributing to some open source
projects, I have a special interest in i18n and have an Idea, though i
wanted to get some feedback on the first the validity (and usability)
of the idea, and then second on the potential implementation (caveats,
major problems, etc.).
What I'm interested in doing is creating an backend generating rake
task and to create the default key pair automatically so the key is
the actual sentence in your html.erb file.
For example in my code rather than have t(".welcome_message") and then
in my en.yml have a key value pair, i could put something akin to
t(".Welcome to my Web page") which after rake could generate the key
value pair similar to this:
welcome_to_my_web_page: "Welcome to my Web page"
Do you think such functionality would be useful to someone getting
started with i18n, or to a veteran having the ability to modify the
key value pair and view the changes in the html.erb at the same time
(keeping things a little more dry) ?
If you would desire this type of functionality what types of technical
hurdles would I expect to face? I wouldn't want special characters in
my keys, and I also wouldn't want the keys themselves to be entire
paragraphs, are there any other caveats you see?
If this has already been tried let me know, again i'm just getting
started "giving back" to the community, so this may not be the right
idea, and/or project. Whatever your opinions or thoughts are please
share them!
