Lost in translation

Rails i18n web interface

Translate your apps with pleasure (sort of...) and for free. It's simple i18n web interface, build on top of twitter bootstrap, that one may find helpful in translating app by non-technicals.

Highly inspired by Copycopter by thoughtbot.

Features

  1. Runs with your app - no need for external services
  2. Support for array types, (ie. date.abbr_day_names)
  3. Versioning translations - you can always check, how value did look like in past
  4. Possibility to synchronize between environments or even apps
  5. Easy to install - works as an engine, comes with simple generator
  6. You can always export all translations to plain old YAML file

Installation

  1. Add lit gem to your Gemfile

    gem "lit"

  2. run bundle install

  3. run installation generator bundle exec rails g lit:install

  4. After doing above and restarting app, point your browser to http://app/lit

  5. Profit!

You may want to take a look at generated initializer in config/initializers/lit.rb and change some default configuration options.

ToDo

  • ~~Versioning~~
  • ~~API~~
  • ~~Synchronization between environments~~
  • Rewrite initializer
  • Rewrite exporter (which is now code from copycopter)
  • ~~Support for array types (ie. date.abbr_day_names)~~
  • ~~Generator~~
  • Support for wysiwyg
  • Better cache
  • ~~Support for other key value providers (ie. Redis does not support Array types in easy way)~~ (not applicable, as array storage works now with redis).
  • Integration with ActiveAdmin
