ruby on rails - Heroku and i18n Problems

Question

I'm having trouble getting i18n to work on heroku. I set:

I18n.default_locale = :de

in my environment.rb and the translation is in config/locales/de.yml works perfect on my local machines but not so on Heroku. On heroku everything is in english. I don't think I need a special gem like i18n gem, cause I don't have it on my local machine either. Maybe someone has a solution to this?

Answer 1

Try to set the default local like this in your config.environment.rb:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  # ...
  config.i18n.default_locale = :de
end
