Parse error for locale

[byrnejb]

I am installing globalize in a new rails project and when I start the
webrick server I get this error:

vendor/plugins/globalize/lib/globalize/localization/rfc_3066.rb:6:in
`parse': bad format for en_US, not rfc-3066 compliant (ArgumentError)

config/environment.rb

  # Support for globalize plugin see:
  # http://www.globalize-rails.org/globalize/

  include Globalize
  Locale.set_base_language 'en_US'
  Locale.set 'en_US'

  #  Set these for globalize unicode support
  $KCODE = 'u'
  require 'jcode'

app/controllers/application.rb

  # support for unicode in globalize plugin
  after_fileter :set_charset
  def set_charset
    unless  @headers["Content-Type"] =~ /charset/i
      @headers["Centent-Type"] ||= ""
      @headers["Content-Type"]+= "; charset=utf-8"
    end
  end



Anyone have any idea of what I have missed?

Hi James, you may want to try en-US, and so forth, with a DASH (-) rather than underscore.

Best,

That was it.

I am so thick at times.  I would have looked at that underscore forever
and never realized what I had done.

Thanks,

I'm new to Globalize and I'm not sure if this
question has already been addressed.

I noticed that the ICU uses the underscore such as en_US:
http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/locale.html

and Mac OS X has adopted the ICU convention:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFLocales/Articles/CFLocaleConcepts.html>

Does Globalize use many concepts and conventions from ICU?
Is the dash based on a different convention?
Should Globalize support the underscore?

Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck, you are right, the documentation does show locale information  
with underscore various times, unfortunately. It's be nice to support  
both conventions, underscore and dasherized.

Best,
Jürgen
