Rails plugin to fetch and update core translations
This Rails plugin adds Rails core translations to your application.
Rails core translations are downloaded from http://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n by default.
Install
Add the rails-i18n-updater gem to your Rails application. With Rails 3.x, add the
following to you Gemfile
:
gem 'rails-i18n-updater'
Use the i18n:update task to initially download core translations:
$ rake i18n:update
If you're using Rails 2.x without Bundler, you need to add config.gem 'rails-i18n-updater'
to config/environments.rb
. Also, you need to manually include the i18n:update task by
adding require 'rails_i18n_updater/tasks'
to your application's Rakefile
.
If you previously used the rails-i18n-updater plugin, you should remove it after
switching to the gem by simply deleting the directory vendor/plugins/rails-i18n-updater
in your application.
Update
To update to the latest core translations, use:
$ rake i18n:update
How it works
The plugin provides the rake task i18n:update
which uses git
to download the latest core translations to vendor/rails-locales
. This rake task can be started manually whenever you want to update to the latest core translations.
On application start, the plugin automatically adds downloaded core translations to I18n.load_path
. Only locales you used in your applications are added and they're prepended to the load path so you can override the defaults in your own locale files.
Limitations
- You need
git
in your PATH forrake i18n:update
to work correctly. - Your application must use the simple I18n backend (using .yml or .rb files for locales).
