h1. Ruby I18n

Ruby Internationalization and localization solution.

Features:

* translation and localization
* interpolation of values to translations (Ruby 1.9 compatible syntax)
* pluralization (CLDR compatible)
* flexible defaults
* bulk lookup
* lambdas as translation data
* custom key/scope separator
* custom exception handlers
* extensible architecture with a swappable backend

Experimental, pluggable features:

* lambda pluralizers stored as translation data
* RFC4647 compliant locale fallbacks (with optional RFC4646 locale validation)
* backend cache

h2. Fast backend

This fork includes a @Fast@ backend that optimizes for the most common lookups and makes them about 20x (for @t(:'foo.bar.baz')@) or 6x (for @t(:'foo.bar.baz', :a=>'A', :b=>'B')@) times faster than the original @Simple@ backend. The @Fast@ backend is slightly less memory efficient and is slower to @reload!@, but should be a great choice for production environment.
