Instance Method Details



  

    #load(locale_directory)  
  



  

    

Loads translation messages from locale_directory/+@name+/rdoc.po or locale_directory/+@name+.po. The former has high priority.



This method requires gettext gem for parsing .po file. If you don't have gettext gem, this method doesn't load .po file. This method warns and returns false.



Returns true if succeeded, false otherwise.
