The # backend defines acceptable sources. # # E.g. the provided SimpleBackend accepts a list of paths to translation # files which are either named *.rb and contain plain Ruby Hashes or are # named *.yml and contain YAML data. So for the SimpleBackend clients may # register translation files like this: # I18n.load_path << 'path/to/locale/en.yml' def load_path @@load_path ||= [] end # Sets the load path instance.

Used in situations like the # Rails development environment. Backends can implement whatever strategy # is useful. def reload! backend.reload! end # Translates, pluralizes and interpolates a given key using a given locale, # scope, and default, as well as interpolation values. # # *LOOKUP* # # Translation data is organized as a nested hash using the upper-level keys # as namespaces. E.g., ActionView ships with the translation: # :date => {:formats => {:short => "%b %d"}}. # # Translations can be looked up at any level of this hash using the key argument # and the scope option. E.g., in this example I18n.t :date # returns the whole translations hash {:formats => {:short => "%b %d"}}. # # Key can be either a single key or a dot-separated key (both Strings and Symbols # work). E.g., the short format can be looked up using both: # I18n.t 'date.formats.short' # I18n.t :'date.formats.short' # # Scope can be either a single key, a dot-separated key or an array of keys # or dot-separated keys. Keys and scopes can be combined freely. So these # examples will all look up the same short date format: # I18n.t 'date.formats.short' # I18n.t 'formats.short', :scope => 'date' # I18n.t 'short', :scope => 'date.formats' # I18n.t 'short', :scope => %w(date formats) # # *INTERPOLATION* # # Translations can contain interpolation variables which will be replaced by # values passed to #translate as part of the options hash, with the keys matching # the interpolation variable names. # # E.g., with a translation :foo => "foo {{bar}}" the option # value for the key +bar+ will be interpolated into the translation: # I18n.t :foo, :bar => 'baz' # => 'foo baz' # # *PLURALIZATION* # # Translation data can contain pluralized translations. Pluralized translations # are arrays of singluar/plural versions of translations like ['Foo', 'Foos']. # # Note that I18n::Backend::Simple only supports an algorithm for English # pluralization rules. Other algorithms can be supported by custom backends. # # This returns the singular version of a pluralized translation: # I18n.t :foo, :count => 1 # => 'Foo' # # These both return the plural version of a pluralized translation: # I18n.t :foo, :count => 0 # => 'Foos' # I18n.t :foo, :count => 2 # => 'Foos' # # The :count option can be used both for pluralization and interpolation. # E.g., with the translation # :foo => ['{{count}} foo', '{{count}} foos'], count will # be interpolated to the pluralized translation: # I18n.t :foo, :count => 1 # => '1 foo' # # *DEFAULTS* # # This returns the translation for :foo or default if no translation was found: # I18n.t :foo, :default => 'default' # # This returns the translation for :foo or the translation for :bar if no # translation for :foo was found: # I18n.t :foo, :default => :bar # # Returns the translation for :foo or the translation for :bar # or default if no translations for :foo and :bar were found. # I18n.t :foo, :default => [:bar, 'default'] # # BULK LOOKUP # # This returns an array with the translations for :foo and :bar. # I18n.t [:foo, :bar] # # Can be used with dot-separated nested keys: # I18n.t [:'baz.foo', :'baz.bar'] # # Which is the same as using a scope option: # I18n.t [:foo, :bar], :scope => :baz def translate(key, options = {}) locale = options.delete(:locale) || I18n.locale backend.translate(locale, key, options) rescue I18n::ArgumentError => e raise e if options[:raise] send(@@exception_handler, e, locale, key, options) end alias :t :translate # Localizes certain objects, such as dates and numbers to local formatting. def localize(object, options = {}) locale = options[:locale] || I18n.locale format = options[:format] || :default backend.localize(locale, object, format) end alias :l :localize protected # Handles exceptions raised in the backend.
