Hi, thanks for this great plugin…and sorry for my english…

I have a really weird problem, suddenly the plugin stop working right. Now when i press “save translations” button, and the plugin save the translations in the yml but skip the quotes (”).
So my file looks like this.

en:

site:
hello: Hello World

instead of:

en:

site:
hello: “Hello World”

Any hint??

Regards..

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

Hi, I would love to use the rake task for automated google translation. 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.

This plugin is great!! 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!

Hi, I’m wondering how this would work for multiple app-servers on different machines. 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 a very neat plugin, but we’ve noticed that when new translations are added, it seems to do some reordering of the .yml files. 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.

There is a problem with UTF-8 encoding in ruby 1.9. ya2yaml gem is incompatible. Do you know any workaround to write yaml file in human format with that ruby version?

I was also getting binary data in the translation file but solve this with require ya2yaml gem in development environment.

require ‘ya2yaml’

Translate plug-in calls the ya2yaml method if it exists, but previously doesn’t try to require ya2yaml gem in its init and then falls back to to_yaml method.

keys.respond_to?(:ya2yaml) ? keys.ya2yaml(:escape_as_utf8 => true) : keys.to_yaml

Sascha,
try adding this line to translate controller:

skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token

Does that solve the problem?
