Now with Pirate Mode

I added gettext support to hab.la. This will make it really easy to translate hab.la into other languages, such as pirate, and l33t $p3@k http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-rails.html

Just write your text strings like:

_('string here')
and be sure to run:
rake updatepo 
and
rake makemo
after making edits.

Tutorials!

I'll be the first to admit that writing tutorials is not the most fun task in the world, but I've completed nice hab.la tutorials for iChat and Adium to augment the AppleScript installers. Writing all those tutorials made me think that it would be really cool if A. Tutorials were done on a Wiki and B. Help was internationalized, and by internationalized I mean -- wouldn't it be cool to have tutorials for pirates, Yarr!

I did a little bit of research, and found a nice comparison of the available internationalization options on the Rails Wiki. Of course I can't imagine how you could merge a Wiki and internationalization, so it looks like we'll have to pick one or the other -- or at the very least split the help documentation between a Wiki and more static internationalized documents. I'll see what the rest of the team thinks tomorrow.
