WARNING: Rails 3.0 is currently in beta. This means that there are probably bugs and that you should "report them":http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/overview if you see them. You also may not want to run the NORAD nuclear launch application off a beta version. But if you're starting development on a new application and you don't mind getting wind in your hair, please do jump on board!

TIP: To install the Rails 3 prerelease beta using rubygems you have to install all the Rails dependencies first as these will not be installed for you by rubygems:
To install the last Rails 3 beta:

For the sake of completeness, let's mention that if you do not want to use the +environment.rb+ file for some reason, you can always wire up things manually, too.
For the sake of completeness, let's mention that if you do not want to use the +application.rb+ file for some reason, you can always wire up things manually, too.

To tell the I18n library where it can find your custom translation files you can specify the load path anywhere in your application - just make sure it gets run before any translations are actually looked up. You might also want to change the default locale. The simplest thing possible is to put the following into an initializer:

<ruby>
# in config/initializers/locale.rb

# tell the I18n library where to find your translations
I18n.load_path << Dir[ File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'lib', 'locale',
'*.{rb,yml}') ]
I18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('lib', 'locale', '*.{rb,yml}')]

# set default locale to something other than :en
I18n.default_locale = :pt
</ruby>

h4. Setting and Passing the Locale

If you want to translate your Rails application to a *single language other than English* (the default locale), you can set I18n.default_locale to your locale in +environment.rb+ or an initializer as shown above, and it will persist through the requests.
If you want to translate your Rails application to a *single language other than English* (the default locale), you can set I18n.default_locale to your locale in +application.rb+ or an initializer as shown above, and it will persist through the requests.

However, you would probably like to *provide support for more locales* in your application. In such case, you need to set and pass the locale between requests.

Of course, you need to take special care of the root URL (usually "homepage" or "dashboard") of your application. An URL like +http://localhost:3001/nl+ will not work automatically, because the +map.root :controller => "dashboard"+ declaration in your +routes.rb+ doesn't take locale into account.

IMPORTANT: This solution has currently one rather big *downside*. Due to the _default_url_options_ implementation, you have to pass the +:id+ option explicitly, like this: +link_to 'Show', book_url(:id => book)+ and not depend on Rails' magic in code like +link_to 'Show', book+. If this should be a problem, have a look at two plugins which simplify work with routes in this way: Sven Fuchs's "routing_filter":http://github.com/svenfuchs/routing-filter/tree/master and Raul Murciano's "translate_routes":http://github.com/raul/translate_routes/tree/master.

Prior to Rails 3.0, if a plugin or gem developer wanted to be able to have an object interact with Action Pack helpers, it was required to either copy chunks of code from Rails, or monkey patch entire helpers to make them handle objects that did not look like Active Record. This generated code duplication and fragile applications that broke on upgrades.

Active Model is a solution for this problem.

Active Model provides a known set of interfaces that your objects can implement to then present a common interface to the Action Pack helpers.
