What's this?
-------------
Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) library and tool
which is modeled after the GNU gettext package.

This library translates original messages to localized
messages using client-side locale information(environment
variable, using system locale API or CGI variable).

The tools for developers support creating, useing, and modifying
localized message files(message catalogs).

Thanks, this is a great news!

I've a long time project that was forced to use Rails 2.1.x due to
reported incompatibility of GetText Rails with a greater release.

Now I'm going to schedule the upgrade within the next couple of weeks.
I will let you know if I encounter some problem. :)

Thanks again,
Simone

There's a bug in gettext_rails that causes my test to fail.

1) Error:
test_contact_mail(MailerTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `create_bang_without_gettext' for
#<Mailer:0x3662224 @errors=[]>
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/gettext_rails-2.0.0/lib/gettext_rails/
action_mailer.rb:30:in `create!'
app/models/mailer.rb:8:in `initialize'
/test/unit/mailer_test.rb:16:in `test_contact_mail'

The file gettext_rails.rb assumes that alias_method_chain doesn't
properly support punctuation, while it does.
You should change line 30 from

create_bang_without_gettext(*arg)

to

create_without_gettext!(*arg)

Oops, this is a bug. I'll fix it.

Any idea about when the bugfix GEM will be available?
I'm waiting for the update to avoid manually patching all production
servers. :)

Please make package by yourself if you need.

Sorry for incovenient.

Hi Masao,

thanks for all the great work you're putting into this!

I've added a few links to the GetText section on our rails-i18n wiki (http://rails-i18n.org/wiki
). Please let me know if I've missed something.

[Masao Mutoh]

Hi Sven,

Thank you!
It's very nice and no problem.

Regards,
Masao.

I'm trying to build packages myself but cannot build the locale package.
I've tried this on a Red Hat Linux machine and a Macintosh and it fails
with the same error on both machines.

The problem is seen when running 'rake package' on the locale package.
Here is the output:

$ rake package

[Masao Mutoh]

Hi,

It seems the test depends on some ruby versions.
I'll fix it.
If you would like to make package now,
remove test task from your Rakefile.

Hi Masao, thanks! That gets me further along in the build process. FYI,
I'm using Ruby 1.8.5 on one machine and 1.8.6 on the other with Rails
2.3.2 on both.

I'm now getting an error on all of the 'rake makemo' tasks for the
various gems. Here's an example of the error when doing rake makemo
within the gettext directory:

$ rake makemo
(in /home/coutu/gt-build/gettext)

undefined method `bytesize' for "":String

[Masao Mutoh]

Hi,

String#bytesize seems not to suport older ruby.
I'll fix it.

BTW, I think it's better to discuss about ruby-gettext issues on
ruby-gettext ML or it's bug tracker on rubyforge.org.
