Localising a rails app – in 20 mins

I had an existing rails app which has nearly completed and during its development its been upgraded from 1.2 all the way up to 2.2.2. Anyway I sat down with the latest updates and figured that acts_as_paranoid and will_paginate needed to be altered but beyond that it seems it just worked.
Suffice to say I’d managed to configure the locales and make heavy use of google translate to begin adding an alternative language.
It is impressive how easily this has come together.
