Internationalization

Reported by Don Ziesig | February 17th, 2010 @ 10:17 PM

I am trying to internationalize your demo app prior to using hobo in a major application.

In application.dryml:

<def tag="app-name"><%=I18n.t('The Customized Website')%></def>

works better than I expected. Everywhere the app-name appears is translated appropriately!

However, in index.dryml, line 1:

<page title="<% I18n.t('Home') %>" >

and many variations on the theme all crash with "SyntaxError in Front#index" on line #1 or Hobo::Dryml::DrymlException in Front#index" on line #1

I have written many websites in 'bare" rails, some of which use I18n, but this is my first attempt at hobo. Is what I want to do possible? Did I miss something in the documentation?

Thanks,

Don Ziesig

- State changed from “new” to “invalid”
I fixed your origin post. In lighthouse you have to use four spaces or backticks to escape DRYML code. Other methods work for ruby code, but not for stuff that looks a little bit too much like HTML.

Your problem is that DRYML isn't ERB. Attributes do not use the <% syntax, they use either an ampersand (&) or rubyish #{:
```
<page title="#{I18n.t('Home')}">
```

Just curious: have you tried Hobo style internationalization? I haven't used it much myself, and wouldn't mind feedback. http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/manual/i18n
