Routing with locale?

[jmuheim]

I'd like to you high_voltage, but it doesn't seem to know about handling a locale in the path itself.

I stumbled over this post on stack overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19809898/high-voltage-gem-routing-with-locale

So I suggest you guys take a look there and provide an answer. This would be really useful.

Thanks a lot!

I'd like to upvote this. Is there no way this could be resolved?

Hi @jmuheim @mmhan I'm copying this response over from a previous HighVoltage issue.

I suggest that you read over the Rails I18n page here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html

There are several components to getting Rails to work with localization.

Add a before filter to your Application controller

# app/controllers/application_controller.rb
before_action :set_locale

def set_locale
  I18n.locale = params[:locale] || I18n.default_locale
end

Disable the default High Voltage routes

# config/initializers/high_voltage.rb
HighVoltage.configure do |config|
  config.routes = false
end

Set up nested URLs with locales the routes file

# config/routes.rb
scope "/:locale", locale: /en|bn|hi/ do
  get "/pages/:id" => 'high_voltage/pages#show', :as => :page, :format => false
end

Add a page to the site

# app/views/pages/about.html.erb
<%= t 'hello' %>

Make sure that there are corresponding locale files

/config/locale/en.yml
/config/locale/bn.yml

One last note is there is a know issue with High Voltage.

You'll need to specify routes like this <%= link_to 'About Us', page_path(id: 'about') %>

Hopefully this is enough information to get you started with localization

I've added a PR to update the REAME with instructions for localization. #156

Closing the issue, feel free to leave comments on the PR if any of the instruction here don't make sense.

Got it, Thanks!
