Ruby Internationalization and localization solution.
Features:
- translation and localization
- interpolation of values to translations (Ruby 1.9 compatible syntax)
- pluralization (CLDR compatible)
- customizable transliteration to ASCII
- flexible defaults
- bulk lookup
- lambdas as translation data
- custom key/scope separator
- custom exception handlers
- extensible architecture with a swappable backend
Pluggable features:
- Cache
- Pluralization: lambda pluralizers stored as translation data
- Locale fallbacks, RFC4647 compliant (optionally: RFC4646 locale validation)
- Gettext support
- Translation metadata
Alternative backends:
- Chain
- ActiveRecord (optionally: ActiveRecord::Missing and ActiveRecord::StoreProcs)
- KeyValue (uses active_support/json and cannot store procs)

You can run tests both with
rake testor justrake- run any test file directly, e.g.
ruby -Ilib:test test/api/simple_test.rb
You can run all tests against all Gemfiles with
ruby test/run_all.rb
The structure of the test suite is a bit unusual as it uses modules to reuse particular tests in different test cases.
The reason for this is that we need to enforce the I18n API across various combinations of extensions. E.g. the Simple backend alone needs to support the same API as any combination of feature and/or optimization modules included to the Simple backend. We test this by reusing the same API defition (implemented as test methods) in test cases with different setups.
You can find the test cases that enforce the API in test/api. And you can find the API definition test methods in test/api/tests.
All other test cases (e.g. as defined in test/backend, test/core_ext) etc. follow the usual test setup and should be easy to grok.
