Missing T

Missing T provides an easy way to see which internationalized messages lack their translations in a ruby project that uses I18n (e.g Rails apps)

Installation

Missing T comes packaged as a gem, and is hosted on github. If you have not already done so, first add gems.github.com as a rubygems source:

$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

And then install the gem itself:

$ gem install balinterdi-missing_t

Also, if you prefer to use it as a plugin to Rails project, you can simply do the following:

$ ./script/plugin install git://github.com/balinterdi/missing_t.git

Running

To find all the messages without translations, you have to be in your project directory and then launch missing_t in the most simple way imaginable:

$ missing_t

You should see all messages that don't have translations on the screen, broken down per file, e.g:

app/views/users/new.html.erb:
    fr.users.name
    fr.users.city_of_residence
    es.users.age

app/helpers/user_helper.rb:
    fr.users.travels

If you wish to see all the lacking translations for a certain language, just provide its language code as a parameter:

$ missing_t fr

Epilogue

That's all about it, let me know if you find any bugs or have suggestions as to what else should the script do. If you wish you can directly contact me at [email protected].
