Hi Malte,
the directory in which ruby-gettext creates the .mo files should be
the right directory.
If I convert the po-file from
APP_ROOT/po/xxx.pot
APP_ROOT/po/<tag>/xxx.po
ruby-gettext creates an mo-file in
APP_ROOT/locale/<tag>/LC_MESSAGES/rails.mo
(where tag is like de_DE or en_GB).
And it works fine.
Here is my rakefile:
require 'gettext/utils'
namespace:gettext do
desc "Update pot/po files to match new version."
task :updatepo do
GetText.update_pofiles("de", Dir.glob("app/**/*.{rb,rhtml}"),
"xxx 1.0")
end
desc "Create mo-files for L10n"
task :makemo do
GetText.create_mofiles(true, "po", "locale", "%s/LC_MESSAGES")
end
end
rake gettext:updatepo
rake gettext:makemo
Don't forget to insert
init_gettext "rails"
into your ApplicationController.
You can also add a path using:
add_default_local_path(".../locale/%{tag}/LC_MESSAGES/%{name}.mo")
May that helps.
