I18n generators¶ ↑

This gem plugin generates a set of locale files for Rails i18n feature. Supports Rails 4.0, 3.2.x, 3.1.x, 3.0.x, 2.3.x and 2.2.x.

FEATURES¶ ↑

This gem/plugin provides following generate commands.

1. Generate Locale Files for ActiveRecord/ActiveSupport/ActionPack¶ ↑

% rails g i18n_locale ja (de-AT, pt-BR, etc.)

Downloads the .yml file for the specified locale from the official rails-i18n repository:

https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails/locale

Then the generator sets the application default locale to the specified locale.

This will generate following locale file.

config/locales/ja.yml

2. Generate Translation YAML File For All Models/Attributes¶ ↑

% rails g i18n_translation ja (de-AT, pt-BR, etc.)

This will generate following YAML file.

config/locales/translation_ja.yml

The generator scans your app/models directory, and generates a YAML file with all the AR model names and attributes so that you don’t have to write the YAML skeleton manually or by copy/paste. In addition, the generator tries to translate each of them into the specified language. The generator doesn’t overwrite the existing value so that you can rerun the generator again and again.

3. Generate All¶ ↑

% rails g i18n ja (de-AT, pt-BR, etc.)

Executes 1 and 2 at once.

REQUIREMENTS:¶ ↑

Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9, 2.0
Ruby on Rails 4.0, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0
Ruby on Rails 2.3, 2.2 (supported by i18n_generators < 1.2)

INSTALL:¶ ↑

Rails 3 (with Bundler)

Add ‘i18n_generators’ to your Gemfile, then ‘bundle`. Restricting the group to :development would be a good idea, since the generator would probably be used only in development mode.

Rails 2

Use ‘i18n_generators’ version ‘< 1.2’.
