15.2 Task J2: translating the store front 14.5 Playtime

15.1 Task J1: Selecting the locale

Define the default and available languages.

edit config/initializers/i18n.rb
#encoding: utf-8
I18n.default_locale = :en
 
LANGUAGES = [
  ['English',                  'en'],
  ["Español".html_safe, 'es']
]

Restart the server.

Scope selected routes based on locale. Important: move to bottom!

edit config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  get 'admin' => 'admin#index'
  controller :sessions do
    get  'login' => :new
    post 'login' => :create
    delete 'logout' => :destroy
  end
 
  resources :users
  resources :products do
    get :download, :on => :member
    get :who_bought, on: :member
  end
 
  scope '(:locale)' do
    resources :orders
    resources :line_items
    resources :carts
    get 'store/index'
    root 'store#index', as: 'store', via: :all
  end
end
