The LocaleUI-Rails Gem is a Ruby on Rails application gem that provides developers with a seamless way to manage and synchronise translation files with LocaleUI.com. By integrating the Gem into the Rails application, translations can be automatically synchronised, updated and deployed directly to LocaleUI without manually uploading or copying language files.

The LocaleUI-Rails Gem makes the management of multilingual Ruby on Rails applications uncomplicated and automated - ideal for companies that want to offer their Ruby on Rails application in different languages.

To use the LocaleUI-Rails Gem, you need a Ruby on Rails application and a valid account on LocaleUI.com. The Gem is compatible with Ruby 3.2+ and higher and Rails 7.1+ and higher.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

      

        

        Command line
      $ bundle add localeui

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

      

        

        Command line
      $ gem install localeui

Next, you need to create a config file for localeui-rails. Run the following command to copy a basic config file.

      

        

        Command line
      rails g localeui:install

The configuration file is located in the config/initializers/localeui.rb directory. In this file, you can set the API token, Project ID and other settings for the Gem.

      

        

        Ruby
      Localeui.config do |config|
  # ...
  
  # Authentication Token
  config.api_token = ENV['LOCALEUI_API_TOKEN']

  # Project API ID
  config.project_id = ENV['LOCALEUI_PROJECT_ID']

  # ...other options
end
