Sven Fuchs gave a great presentation at RailsConf Europe about the history and details of the forth-coming I18n support in Rails 2.2. Well worth reading if you’re in need of internationalization services for your current or future app.
great job guys. this will be very very useful! So to translate an entire app will be need both l18n + globalize2? will globalize 2 still use the db to save all the translations or will it use just yml files? (the last are more useful if you have to give to sameone external everything to translate… and there aren’t db access just to get the translations…)
Why didn’t they just use Gettext? Its more widespread and has more features and tools.
Is a pre-alpha ;) build of Globalize2 already usable somehow? There’s something on github, but how complete is it?
@xdmx: You don’t need Globalize for that, in principle. See and play with the demo apps on Github linked from the i18n Wiki: http://rails-i18n.org/wiki

Is it already useable? Would be nice for a new project of mine.
@karmi:
but globalize should be needed when the models has to be translated, right ? it wouldn’t be nice to see the column’s name not translated in a translated version :)
