If you are in the middle of setting up internationalization in your brand spanking new Ruby on Rails project, you might have added a few locales including a Norwegian one for those lovely people up in northern Scandinavia.

Now, having done this, trying to call <%= I18n.t(‘hello_world’) %>, you might receive the following error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `to_sym’ for false:FalseClass

You look in your YAML files, say en.yml and no.yml, and what you have is this:

# English locale file:

en:
  hello_world: ‘Hello world!’

… and…

# Norwegian locale file:

no:
  hello_world: ‘Hej verden!’

The above is a classical YAML thing: the no: contained in the no.yml file is interpreted as a boolean, and this renders the Norwegian YAML file useless — and thus, your dandy I18n attempts bork up.

The solution is simple:

# Norwegian locale file:

"no":
  hello_world: ‘Hej verden!’

Escape the no: with quotation marks and you’re good to go.

I spoke to the guys from HiPPiH today, and they gave me one of their cool new iPad stands (it works with iPhones too). It’s not for sale yet, but will be soon, hopefully. It looks really sleek having it standing on a table at the office like this:
