Really? You should read it. That's how rails works with i18n. Overkill would be to implement a different solution when a lot (and I mean a LOT) of people already worked it out in a really nice way. If you think that translate an application to 6 different languages doesn't need an elegant and easy-to-maintain solution, then you're in trouble.
