This is how we test that all translation keys match up between locales, in Rails.

This is how we test that all translation keys match up between locales.

Stuff that only goes in one locale (such as an admin section) or that can't be translated yet (if you use external translators) can simply go in files that don't match the path "config/locales/??.yml", like "config/locales/wip.fo.yml".

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy.
