I am accessing the I18n.locale variable to determine the language and I have to convert it to a string to do comparisons all the time.

I18n.locale.to_s

As in

I18n.locale.to_s == "en" ? "h2-high-quality.gif" : "h2-high-quality-fr.gif"

Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it must be done?

    I18n.locale is a symbol. You don’t need to convert to string to do comparisons, rather just do a comparison against a symbol:

    I18n.locale == :en ? "h2-high-quality.gif" : "h2-high-quality-fr.gif"
