Comments on: Translate: New Rails I18n Plugin with a Nice Web UI http://devcorner.mynewsdesk.com/2009/01/21/translate-new-rails-i18n-plugin-with-a-nice-web-ui/ This is the blog by the Ruby on Rails developers behind the News exchange site mynewsdesk.com Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:12:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Torsten Graf-Oettel http://devcorner.mynewsdesk.com/2009/01/21/translate-new-rails-i18n-plugin-with-a-nice-web-ui/#comment-17487 Torsten Graf-Oettel Mon, 10 Jan 2011 11:59:40 +0000 http://developer.newsdesk.se/?p=21#comment-17487 Thanx fo that great tool! Just one warning for all using passenger or any another software managing multiple rails processes ... You might encounter loosing translation entries when more than one application instance is running in parallel. Then the force_init_translations method in the translate_controller.rb is unsufficient, because it reloads only the translation entries of the instance you are currently working on. All other instances keep the translations they loaded on startup. When you you are later on dispatched by one of these, the previously entered translations are "lost" and missing forever (unless you added some backup functionality) To avoid such serious kind of problem, you have to either make sure to run your translation instance only with one process or to use something like <blockquote>FileUtils.touch(File.join(Rails.root, "tmp", "restart.txt")) </blockquote> to force the update of all instances instead of using force_init_translations.

FileUtils.touch(File.join(Rails.root, “tmp”, “restart.txt”))

to force the update of all instances instead of using force_init_translations.

I deploy on heroku, which is a read only filesystem. Could this be used with I18N DB to give it a database backend? I deploy on heroku, which is a read only filesystem.

I have the translate plugin installed and the web-interface including single google translations do work. For the rake task I did install the latest httparty gem (I have version 0.4.5 ob my system). When I run the rake task to translate from en to fr: rake translate:google FROM=en TO=fr I do get the following error: Constant HTTParty from htt_party.rb not found The include "HTTParty" is described in the httparty readmes so I don't understand the error here. Do I miss something obvious? Any help would be appreciated. Hi, I would love to use the rake task for automated google translation.

Thanks for building it! I have a question. Is there any extension for your plugin that would allow us to combine it with the model-driven translation provided by the Globalize2 plugin (http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2), so that we could use the Translate plugin´s UI, to store information on the database tables created by Globalize2? Thanks again! This plugin is great!! Thanks for building it!

For instance, if I have three app-servers, does each server just write to it's own local copy of config/locales/fr.yml? This would mean that the same text would be translated 3 times right? Unless I synchronised the yaml files periodically. Or can I configure the i18n loadpath to point at a shared fr.yml on a static asset server?

This is causing some painful git merges when multiple people update the translation files in separate branches. Is there an intentional reordering of the keys being done, or is this a side effect of something else? If maintaining the key ordering would be desirable, I'd be willing to take a crack at a patch.
