This is what I did to migrate from Globalite to Rails 2.2 I18N: 0) Be sure all tests pass. 1) Install the latest rails gem: gem install rails 2) Update the app: rake rails:update This likely modifies config/boot.rb and may update the Javascripts and may add scripts to script/ directory. 3) Uninstall you I18N plugin/gem/package. For me: script/plugin remove globalite 4) Watch the I18N Railscast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/138-i18n 5) Skim various I18n guides http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2008/11/18/new-rails-2-2-i18n-defaults http://rails-i18n.org/wiki/pages/i18n-rails-guide 6) Make the translations directory: mkdir config/locales 7) Download any needed example translation files from: http://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails%2Flocale Note: English is built-in, only application specific translations needed in config/locales/en.yml, config/locales/en-US.yml, etc. 8) Check running Rails 2.2 and I18n: script/console test Loading test environment (Rails 2.2.2) >> I18n.t 'time.am' => "am" >> quit 8) Convert translation calls to I18n.t() and add translations to config/locales/en.yml or whatever. For example, Globalite calls: :hello.l t(:hello) :logged_in.l_with_args(:user => 'Jeff') t(:logged_in, :user => 'Jeff') Translation file for above: en: hello: "Hello, world!" user: "{{user}} logged in." It took me 2 1/2 hours from start to all automated tests passing. 5 controllers, 12 models, approximately 1400 LOC. Another 10-15 minutes fixing things the automated tests didn't catch.
