How To

Create translations dir. For example: ./i18n/.
Add file with translation to ./i18n/ with language code in file name (for example, en.yml for English or en-us.yml USA English dialect). For example, ./i18n/en.yml:
```
file:
 add: Add file
 delete: Delete file %1

files: !!pl
 0: No files
 1: One file
 n: '%1 files'
```
Add R18n to your application:
```
require 'r18n-desktop'
```
Load I18n object:
```
R18n.from_env('i18n/')
```

User can set the locale manually:

 ```ruby
R18n.from_env('i18n/', manual_locale)
 ```

5. Include mixin to use helpers:

 ```ruby
include R18n::Helpers
 ```

6. Use translation messages to user. For example:

 ```ruby
t.file.add            #=> "Add file"
t.file.delete('Test') #=> "Delete file Test"
t.files(1)            #=> "One file"
t.files(12)           #=> "12 files"

l -12000.5          #=> "−12,000.5"
l Time.now          #=> "2009-08-09 21:41"
l Time.now, :human  #=> "now"
l Time.now, :full   #=> "August 9th, 2009 21:41"

# Base translation
t.ok     #=> "OK"
t.cancel #=> "Cancel"
 ```

7. You can print user locale or available locales:

 ```ruby
"Your locale: " + r18n.locale.title
"Select another: " + r18n.available_locales.map { |i| i.title }.join(', ')
 ```
