Do you mean you want to replace any English in your view templates (or
that are generated by helper methods) with text specific to the browser's
locale?

I'm not familiar with the kinds of problems you might run into with those
languages.
My (naïve) approach would be to make a YAML file in the ./config folder to
hold your internationalized text. That file would contain UTF-8
characters, and Ruby (version 1.9) ought to be able to handle any tricky
manipulations for you.
So I'm wondering what the gem would do (this is probably due to my lack of
experience of internationalizing sites).
