FastGettext
===========
GetText but fast + simple + threadsave!

Setup
=====
    sudo gem install grosser-fast_gettext -s http://gems.github.com/

Tell Gettext where your mo-files lie:
    #e.g. for locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/my_app.mo
    FastGettext.add_text_domain('my_app',:path=>'locale')

Choose text domain, and locale for translation
    FastGettext.text_domain = 'my_app'
    FastGettext.locale = 'de'

Start translating
    include FastGettext
    _('Car') == 'Auto'
    _('not-found') == 'not-found'
    s_('Namespace|no-found') == 'not-found'
    n_('Axis','Axis',3) == 'Achsen' #German plural of Axis

Thread-safety
=============
locale/text_domain/available_locales are not shared between threads.  
But text_domains is, so that found translations can be reused.

Updating translations
=====================
ATM you have to use the [original GetText](http://github.com/mutoh/gettext) to create and manage your po/mo-files.
