dealing with very long static text

[cedric]

what is the general recommendation for dealing with very long static
copy? for example, a privacy policy or terms of service seems a bit
unwieldy to be sticking into a yaml file. any best practices here to
recommend?

Try using the localized viezs:

policy.en.html.erb
policy.es.html.erb
...

Hi
I tried the localized views but it did not work for me !!!!!
I have a view about.html.erb and added the view about.sv.html.erb to
display a swedish template
I have a locale sv.yml that starts with sv:
However, the about.sv.html.erb is not displayed when I set the
language to swedish, and the textmate editor does not recognize it as
a html file
Why doesn't it work ?
Do I have to define availabel locale myself ?
DO I have to set somethin in the configuration file ?

Hi and thanks for ypur advice, but

 change to  about.html.sv.erb  

but that doent work either and  the guide says

Rails 2.3 introduces another convenient localization feature: localized views (templates). Let’s say you have a BooksController in your application. Your index action renders content in app/views/books/index.html.erb template. When you put a localized variant of this template: index.es.html.erb in the same directory, Rails will render content in this template, when the locale is set to :es.

so why doesn't it work ?

I use rails 2.3.3
