Ruby is probably my most favorite programming language: it enables us to write expressive, flexible, and powerful code, it has a great community, and it's rapidly evolving. In this article I would like to tackle a problem of translating Ruby applications and introduce multiple i18n gems that can help you solve this task.
Poor translations = bad user experience, brand erosion, costly/embarrassing mistakes, and potential legal issues. This is why linguistic quality assurance (LQA) is so important. It’s a system of processes that ensures your translated content is error-free. But what does an LQA process look like and how do you create one? What tools can you use to facilitate this process? Before we continue, let’s explain what LQA is and why it matters.<

If your application only speaks one language, say English, pluralizing is oftentimes as simple as suffixing its nouns with an "s" or "es". But, if you rightfully chose to localize/internationalize your app in multiple locales, the
Some time ago we explored how to translate Java using i18n. But if we were to zoom in a bit further, particularly on Java date localization, we'd see that it used to be quite confusing because of a few poorly designed date libraries prior
In this article we'll discuss what is localization and what's it all about. After all, we live in an imperfect world, and we as humans are prone to making mistakes. It's not a bad thing — it's just something to remember and take into account. Specifically, there’s a high risk of errors creeping into your localization efforts. Sometimes these are small matters, like typos or slightly a
