So, we have an existing Rails 2.3.5 app that does not support Internationalization at all. Now, I\'m well familiar with Rails I18n stuff, but we have a LOT of output strings
Ryan solution is brillant.
But to not include the entire file you should use: @translations[I18n.locale].with_indifferent_access["alpha"]
instead of I18n.backend.send(:translations)["alpha"]
