Ruby on Rails automatic string extraction for translation

Question

I am trying to automatically extract strings from ruby views .erb files to config/lang/ files for example en.yml

Is there some updated alternative to this?

It is supposed to be a gem tool that will extract strings if used like this:

ready_for_i18n <you view path> <target path>

Answer 1

There is a number of gems that do this. One list of such gems is maintained on the i18n-tasks wiki:

• Slimkeyfy extracts plain strings from Slim views and Rails Controllers.
• haml-i18n-extractor automates string extraction from HAML.
• i15r for ERB and Haml.
• i18n-html_extractor another extractor for ERB with an interactive mode.

Answer 2

Try i18n-tasks gem

$ i18n-tasks add-missing
