+= Ruby-GetText-Package
+
+Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) library and tool
+which is modeled after the GNU gettext package.
+
+This library translates original messages to localized
+messages using client-side locale information(environment
+variable or CGI variable).
+
+The tools for developers support creating, useing, and modifying
+localized message files(message catalogs).
+
+((*Rails*))
+Rails support has been removed.
+Rails / ActiveRecord specific code now lives in gettext_rails and gettext_activerecord.
+
+== Website
+* homepage[http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext.html]
+* on rubyforge[http://gettext/rubyforge.org/]
+* on github[http://github.com/gettext/]
+
+== Features
+* Simple APIs(similar to GNU gettext)
+
+* rgettext creates po-files from
+ * ruby scripts
+ * glade-2 XML file(.glade)
+ * ERB file(.rhtml, .erb)
+ * Anything (with your own parsers)
+ * The po-files are compatible to GNU gettext.
+
+* rmsgfmt creates a mo-file from a po-file.
+ The mo-file is compatible to GNU gettext(msgfmt).
+
+* textdomain's scope is adapt to ruby class/module mechanism.
+ * A class/module can have plural textdomains.
+ * a message is looked up in its class/module and ancestors.
+
+* CGI support (gettext/cgi)
+ * Locale is retrieved from client informations
+ (HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, QUERY_STRING(lang), Cookies(lang)).
+
+* String%() is extended to use named argument such as <tt>%{foo}" %{:foo => 1}</tt>.
+ Notes that Ruby-1.9.x supports this format by itself.
+
+== Requirements

+
+== Usage
+===Translation
+- _: Basic translation method
+ Translates the message.
+ _("Hello")
+
+The gettext methods comes in 3 combinable flavors
+- n: Pluralized
+ Returns singular or plural form, depending on how many you have.
+ n_("Apple", "%{num} Apples", 3)
+ n_(["Apple", "%{num} Apples"], 3)
+
+- p: context aware
+ A context is a prefix to your translation, usefull when one word has different meanings, depending on its context.
+ p_("Printer","Open") <=> p_("File","Open")
+ is the same as s_("Printer|Open") <=> s_("File|Open")
+
+- s: without context
+ If a translation could not be found, return the msgid without context.
+ s_("Printer|Open") => "Öffnen" #translation found
+ s_("Printer|Open") => "Open" #translation not found
+
+- combinations
+ np_("Fruit", "Apple", "%{num} Apples", 3)
+ ns_("Fruit|Apple","%{num} Apples", 3)
+
+ np_(["Fruit","Apple","%{num} Apples"], 3)
+ ns_(["Fruit|Apple","%{num} Apples"], 3)
+
+- N_, Nn_: Makes dynamic translation messages readable for the gettext parser.
+ <tt>_(fruit)</tt> cannot be understood by the gettext parser. To help the parser find all your translations,
+ you can add <tt>fruit = N_("Apple")</tt> which does not translate, but tells the parser: "Apple" needs translation.
+
+ fruit = N_("Apple") # same as fruit = "Apple"
+ _(fruit) # does a normal translation
+
+ fruits = Nn_("Apple", "%{num} Apples")
+ n_(fruits, 3)
+
+=== Locale / Domain
+GetText stores the locale your are using
+ GetText.locale = "en_US" # translate into english from now on
+ GetText.locale # => en_US
+Or
+ include GetText
+ set_locale "en_US"
+
+Each locale can have different sets of translations (text domains) (e.g. Financial terms + Human-resource terms)
+ GetText.bindtextdomain('financial')
+Or
+ include GetText
+ bindtextdomain('financial')
+

+consult the tutorial[http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto.html].
