I18n yaml generator (for Rails 3)

Description

Creates yaml locale files for models and views when using the model / scaffold_controller generators.

Locale files are generated for all locales listed in I18n.available_locales.

Currently support ORMs

• ActiveRecord
• ActiveModel
• Mongoid

Usage

Add the gem to Gemfile

gem 'i18n_yaml_generator'

Make sure you have something like this in application.rb:

config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('config', 'locales', '**', '*.{rb,yml}')]

Configuration

Create config/initializers/i18n_yaml_generators.rb

MyApplication::Application.config.i18n_yaml_generator.tap do |g|

  # Whether content in the generated locale files should be commented out (default: false)
  g.commented = true 

end
