Gedit plugin – I18n Helper for Rails

Menu and keyboard shortcut for internationalizing strings in Rails templates.

Installation

• Clone the git repository, run “./install.sh”

Usage

Highlight an untranslated string, and use the ‘Tools → I18n-ize’ menu item
or Ctrl+Shift+I keyboard shortcut.

• Takes the selected string, generates a i18n key.
• Replaces the selection with: = t(‘.<< key >>’)
• Copies the locale definition into your clipboard, to paste into your en.yml file.
  • key: Original String

Limitations

• Written for use with haml templates
• For localizing specific views (so each key is prepended with ‘.’ in template)

Might add configuration options in the future.
