Patches already exist for the error_messages_for and datetime_select issues.
They may need to be updated (or extracted) and resubmitted.

Jeremy, Julian. Thanks for bringing this up again. I do want to clarify
(as Jeremy mentions), that there really are a few changes that we could
all benefit from.

Julian, I agree that real multibyte character support would be nice to
have, but are you sure that it is an important issue. I mean, I'm fine
with the support in my plugin (basically sets  $KCODE = 'u' and that's
it.)

I have seen no problems on that until now (and I have done a few
"string juggling" tests). Moreover, do you know if the problems you
describe, will be solved with better unicode support in Ruby 2? Because
if that's so, you should be pushing on the Ruby mailing list.

My own opinion is still that we should be able to modify Rails so that
it's easier to "override" for these purposes: More like setting new
hashes with localized strings, and less overriding of entire functions
because english texts are hardcoded.

I'm looking forward to hear your opinion here, and like Jeremy I'm
delighted to know if any volunteers are listening and reacting....


PS. I'm trying to look into it myself, but some of the code is not as
easy to modify as much of it is still beautiful (but in an incosistent
way as I described in my first post :-)
