GlobaLite is meant to be a breed of the best i18n /l10n plugins available for Rails. (compatible with Rails 2.1)

NOTE: GlobaLite is NOT yet compatible with Rails 2.2 Edge. I worked with the i18n team to create Rails i18n/l10n API but I didn't port GlobaLite yet. I didn't even start working on that. GlobaLite is NOT thread-safe and might have issues if used in Rails 2.2
