Murloc

This gem allows using localization through routing like this: ‘localhost:3000/en’, where en is the current locale.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'murloc'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install murloc

Usage

Tested only on rails 5. For any other rails version working capacity wasn’t tested.

Add this to yours config/routes.rb file:

in_locales([:en, :ru]) do
  # ...
end

The argument is an array of locales.

Also you need to include Murloc to yours ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController <  ActionController::Base
  include Murloc
  # ...
end

Locale of user will be set in cookies, so user always will have the same locale, which he chosen.

To change locale you can use link_to helper:

link_to 'English', locale: :en

You can use it like this, to have list of all locales:

<I18n.locales.each do |locale|%>
  <%= link_to locale, locale: locale %>
<end%>

And it’s just common link_to helper, so you can do anything like this:

<%= link_to_change_locale(:en) do %>
  <span>Eng</span>
<%end%>

Development

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to [rubygems.org](rubygems.org).
