Agile Web Development

GLoc is a localization library. It doesn't aim to do everything i18n-related that you can imagine, but what it does, it does very well. It was originally designed as a Rails plugin, but can also be used for plain ruby projects. Here are a list of its main features:

• Lightweight and efficient.
• Uses file-based string bundles. Strings can also be set directly.
• Intelligent, cascading language configuration.
• Create flexible rules to handle issues such as pluralization.
• Includes a ActionController filter that auto-detects the client language.
• Works perfectly with Rails Engines and allows strings to be overridden just as easily as controllers, models, etc.
• Automatically localizes Rails functions such as distancein_minutes, selectmonth etc
• Supports different charsets. You can even specify the encoding to use for each language seperately.
• Special Rails mods/helpers.
