Chapter 4. 1 – Deeper into Rails I 18 n – we speak different languages! I 18 n - Easy-to-use and extensible framework for translating your application to a single custom language other than English or for providing multi-language support in your application. You may be tempted to store the chosen locale in a session or a cookie. Do not do so. The locale should be transparent and a part of the URL. This way you don’t break people’s basic assumptions about the web itself: if you send a URL of some page to a http: //guides. rubyonrails. org/i 18 n. html Maciej Mensfeld Every static string in the Rails framework — e. g. Active Record validation messages, time and date formats — has been internationalized

Chapter 4. 1 – Deeper into Rails Be RESTful as much as you can be! Don’t work with different models in one controller! Don’t use non standard actions (unless you really know what you are doing!) Think with resources, not with actions! Use restful routes (resources : users, etc) Maciej Mensfeld
Chapter 4. 1 – Deeper into Rails Be RESTful as much as you can be! Use scopes and namespaces! Namespaces are good to separate different logic with same controller names (in different modules) Namespacing stuff helps you manage growing projects Maciej Mensfeld
