rails_translation_manager: Translating locale files

This document explains how to use Rails Translation Manager to create locale files.

Once you have installed the gem into your application, the expected usage is:

1. export translations to a CSV file using:

   rake translation:export:all[target_directory]
   

   or

   rake translation:export[target_directory,base_locale,target_locale]
   

2. send the appropriate CSV file to a translator

3. wait for translation to happen

4. receive translation file back

5. import the translation file using either:

   rake translation:import:all[source_directory]
   

   or

   rake translation:import[locale,path]
   

   this will generate .yml files for each translation

6. commit any changed .yml files

   git add config/locale
   git commit -m 'added new translations'
