One thing that have always bothered me about the inflector and this pluralize business is that it only work in English. That make rails newbies from non-english speaking countries have a harder time learning the technology than they should. I know ruby's keywords are already in English, and so are method names and so on. But reading a foreing language is easier; and so is using already defined names. However, a person who doesn't know English very well will not do a good job in naming his own variables and models in English. A famous quote from computer science field goes: "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things". Imagine naming it in a language you aren't proficient.
Perhaps inflection should not be the default. Maybe it should be optional. If you want it, then you can load your language's inflection gem, if it's available. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
