=Welcome to Multilingual

*Multilingual* is a Ruby on Rails plugin designed to support multilingual applications. It's under the MIT License, same 
as Ruby on Rails.

==How to use it

===In your models

  class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
    translates :name, :description, :specs
  end

Then:

  Locale.set("en-US")
  prod = Product.find(1) 

<tt>prod.name</tt> -> "Meatballs"

  Locale.set("es-ES")
  prod = Product.find(1) 

<tt>prod.name</tt> -> "Albondigas"

=== In your views (or anywhere else)

  Locale.set("he-IL")
  <%= "Thanks for ordering!".t %> -> "תודה על ההזמנה!" 
  <%= "You've got %d items in your cart" / 5 %> -> "יש 5 מוצרים בסל שלך"

  Locale.set("es-ES")
  <%= Time.now.strftime("%d %B %Y") %> -> "17 Octubre 2005"
  <%= 12345.45.to_s %> -> "12.345,45"

There's more, but let's save that for later.

==How to install

From your rails app root directory:

1. <tt>script/plugin install https ://OpenSVN.csie.org/multi_lingual_rails/multilingual/trunk</tt> (remove the extra 
space after +http+, I had to put that in to fool rdoc)
1. <tt>script/generate multilingual</tt>
1. <tt>rake migrate</tt>

...and you're globalized, dude!

Optionally, try:

* <tt>rake test_plugins</tt>
* <tt>rake plugindoc</tt>
