I'm thinking this has to be a common question, but thus far I haven't
found it, maybe somebody can point me in the right direction.

If I've got a controller Foo, and a page views/foo/index.rhtml, and I
want to handle multiple languages, I'm thinking that one way to go would
be to create views/foo/en/index.rhtml, views/foo/fr/index.rhtml, ... and
so on for each supported locale.  Then instead of the default:
  def index
    render :action=>:index
  end

I could do something like this:
  def index
    render :action=>"#{locale}/index"
  end

Question 1 is, would that work?  I'm hacking on the code now so I'm sure
I'll find out in two minutes.

Question 2 is, assuming that this does work, what would be the best way
to chain in at a higher level so I didn't have to do this for every
single method of every controller?  I'm reading the docs on
ActionController and ActionView but not seeing any obvious places.


Please note that I am already in the process of doing string
externalization into config/locales/fr.yml and so on.  I'm just
exploring this different strategy for situations where I've got
substantial blocks of content in the views that might be better served
with a clone of the entire page.
