How to actually use it?
Erik Terpstra
I installed and configured merb_global using the instructions over
here:
http://github.com/myabc/merb_global/tree/master
Now, how do I actually use it?
The installation and configuration went fine, but when I do something
like this in a view:
<%=_ 'Hello world!' %>
I get:
Internal Server Error 500
undefined method `_' for #<Foo:0xb793c0bc>
Did I forget to require or include something in init.rb?
How do I use it?
Thanks in advance,
Erik.

Hi Erik,
Did you install the latest Gem, or the 'edge' version from Git?

Did you add dependency 'merb_global' to your Merb init.rb file?
I am presuming you setup the rest of the configuration for the
merb_global configuration as shown in the README - either with a Hash,
or in a plugins.yaml file.
Then the syntax is:
_('Hi! Hello world!')

Thanks a lot.
I have just started using merb, so I have still a lot to learn.
Cheers,
Erik.

All scripts (for example to generate mo) will search it
in ./locale/nl.po. However if you don't use them it can be anywhere.

This file should be in ./locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES. In the same way as in
gettext example.

seems that:
Merb::Plugins.config[:merb_global] = {:domain => 'messages'}
does not work.
Thanks for helping out.
Erik.
