sl_to_i18n.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# ABOUT:
# Migrates your Simple Localization (http://simple-localization.arkanis.de/) language file to
# Rails built-in i18n language file structure.

# IMPORTANT:
# If you want your active records model and attributes keys
# and your "app" keys to be sorted alphabetically, use Ruby 1.9
# since it supports sorted hashes
# This script was tested with Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.1

# USAGE:
# $ ruby sl_to_i18n path/to/simple_localization/yaml/lang/file.yml
# Copy console output into your new i18n language file 


require "yaml"
# require "rubygems"
# require "ruby-debug" # Doesn't work with 1.9.1
