Moin Thomas, thanks for your reply. I'm afraid your advice did
not really help me. Maybe I should try and state the point of
my problem clearer.

Basically, Gettext is working for me (translating e.g. table
names), which means that I have done this already. The thing
which does not work is only related to my rails.mo file,
generated from rails.po. This is po/rails.pot in the ruby-
gettext source directory. It contains default messages for
rails à la "%{num} errors prohibited this %{record} from being
saved".

Actually, when the application is running, the path is set right:
$ ls locale/eo/LC_MESSAGES/
eventoj.mo rails.mo
$ ./script/console
Loading development environment.
irb> ApplicationController.add_default_locale_path 'foo'
=> ["foo",
"/home/malte/Krakel/eventoj/locale/%{locale}/LC_MESSAGES/%{name}.mo",
"/usr/share/locale/%{locale}/LC_MESSAGES/%{name}.mo",
"/usr/local/share/locale/%{locale}/LC_MESSAGES/%{name}.mo"]
But it seems that these directories are not searched for rails.mo.
(Note that it works for eventoj.mo, the mo file for my application.)
Instead, rails.mo is in (for me)
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.8.0/data/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES,
and found therein. My problem is that I do not want to put my custom
translation there, but do not understand how to tell Gettext that it
is somewhere else.
Hope we'll get this done.
Malte
