Useful!

Thanks for this. It'll ease writing multi-lingual Gibberish.

Great plugin Peter. Thanks! I changed files_with_messages to pick up my haml and rhtml files ...

`find #{dirs_to_search.join(" ")} -type f \\( -regex '.*ml' -or -regex '.*rb' \\)`.split.map(&:chomp)

Thanks again ... I'm sure this will be useful ....

Good Stuff. Thanks Peter!

A couple tweaks I made though:

1) In Gibberish, it is valid to say "foo bar"[]. That is the same as "foo bar"[:foo_bar]. To fix this in extractor.rb I changed the message_pattern to be:
/#{start_token}((?:[^#{end_token}](?:\\#{end_token})?)+)#{end_token}\[:*([a-z_]*)/m

and also added one line of code to add_message to handle empty keys:

def add_messages(contents, start_token, end_token)
contents.scan(message_pattern(start_token, end_token)).each do |text, key|
key = text.tr('[ ]', '_').downcase if ( key == '' )
add_message(key, remove_quotes(text, end_token))
end
end

2) The only other thing I changed was the unix find call, OpenBSD doesn't support -regex: `find #{dirs_to_search.join(" ")} -type f '(' -name '*rb' -or -name '*.ml' ')'`.split.map(&:chomp)

Thanks for the great utility, it makes Gibberish much easier...

Hello Again,

I was a little over zealous, and my regular expression to match "foo bar"[] was not right. Here is the corrected version:
/#{start_token}((?:[^#{end_token}](?:\\#{end_token})?)+)#{end_token}\[([:a-z_]*)\]/m

Thanks again

Ok, about 30 seconds after posting the regular expression above I yet again realized it was wrong (didn't handle string interpolated). 16 days later and I haven't broken it yet so I think it is safe to correct my corrected regular expression:

/#{start_token}((?:[^#{end_token}](?:\\#{end_token})?)+)#{end_token}\[:*([a-z_]*)[,\]]/m

I also wrote an article on using gibberish_translate with Google Language Tools for automatic translations which can be found here: http://myutil.com/2008/1/23/prototype-translations-for-gibberish-with-google-language-tools-a-mouse-click-and-13-lines-of-code

In using gibberish_translate I found a bug (at lest under Rails 2.0.2). translations_controller.set_translation_locale sets the translation_locale to either params[:translate_locale] or Gibberish.languages.first. As params[:translate_locale] is not a field or hidden field in the Form a save will always overwrite Gibberish.languages.first no matter what locale you are editing. I fixed this by modifying set_translation_locale() to check the session before the default. You can see the exact code in my article about Google Language tools linked above.

Thanks again Mark for a great tool.

I'm using Rails 2.0.2

I get a
ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken in Gibberish/translations#index
when trying to go to /translations

The only way i can get it to work is to comment out
protect_from_forgery :secret in application controller but i dont want to do this.

Any ideas how to fix this one?

Ah, the plugins are loaded before application.rb so u have to put the protect_from_forgery in the translate_controller too

Wonderful piece of code. Makes my life a lot easier.

One thing, I have the ya2yml gem installed but Japanese translations are still being output as hex codes instead of the actual Kana. Is there a way to check that the plugin is seeing the gem?
