Question

How do I read my Rails application’s default_locale from inside a gem? I’m running Rails 3.2.6 on REE 1.8.7

This isn’t working for me:

module MyModule
  class Railtie < Rails::Railtie
    begin
      puts "test #{config.i18n.default_locale}"
    end
  end
end

I had the same problem and I solved it like this:

module MyModule
  class Railtie < Rails::Railtie
    config.to_prepare do
        Rails.configuration.i18n.default_locale
    end
  end
end
