translation.io lighning-talk in arrrrcamp 2014
DESCRIPTION
Presentation of Translation.io (http://translation.io) at the ArrrrCamp 2014 conference at Ghent. Translation.io allows you to localize Rails applications using either t('.keys') or _('free text'). Just type "rake translation:sync" to synchronize with your translators, and let them translate online with our super-interface. We think dealing with YAML keys is not the best way to translate and that Gettext should be preferred. That's why we created a gem that lets you translate without worrying about the underlying system.TRANSCRIPT
