I've been working on internationalizing a Rails app, and along the way I created a simple command to lookup Rails i18n translation keys from within TextMate. You use it like this:
- Highlight a translation key. e.g.
'activerecord.errors.messages.inclusion' - Hit Shift-Command-i.
- The relevant translation is shown on a tool tip, in this case "is not included in the list".
As well as simple keys, the command also works with any additional parameters you'd pass to I18n.t when using interpolation or the alternate translation key scoping syntax. For example highlighting :greater_than, :scope => [:activerecord, :errors, :messages], :count => 100 before invoking the command would yield "must be greater than 100" on the tool tip. There's also support for replacing local and instance variables used for interpolation with placeholder strings.
Since Sven Fuchs has already started an experimental Rails i18n TextMate bundle I've forked his rails-i18n repository and added this to it. Here's how to set it up:
The command is included in Sven Fuchs' experimental Rails i18n TextMate bundle, here's how to set it up:
git clone git://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n.git
cp -r rails-i18n/tools/ ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/
# You also need the i18n gem
sudo gem install mattetti-i18n --source http://gems.github.comThe command has the default locale set to :en and is only loading translations from config/locales/en.yml. If you need to do something different take a look at the command in TextMate's Bundle Editor and you'll see what you need to change to get things working for you.
