Rails: Internationalization of Javascript Strings?

Question

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

Answer 1

I18n-js is working great for me and i'd recommend it. If you use his rewrite branch then the plugin will include a /assets/i18n/filtered.js file which outputs exactly what @ryan-montgomery answered, without having to do anything yourself manually.

This way, you can use the same translations on the backend with Rails helpers t(:key) and using I18n.t('key') in Javascript on the frontend.
