host_locales doesn't seem to be working

[flaviomestre]

I'm trying to use route_translator with subdomains (en|pt|es.ityou.dev). I can make it work with a subfolder (ityou.dev/pt/) but subdomain won't work. I have the following:

# route_translator.rb
RouteTranslator.config.host_locales = {
    'en.ityou.*'     => :en,
    'pt.ityou.*'     => :pt,
    'es.ityou.*'     => :es
}

# routes.rb
localized do
    root 'static#home'
end

Any domain/subdomain I open always sets the locale to english

# open pt.ityou.dev:3000
Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-06-25 08:51:43 -0500
Processing by StaticController#home as HTML
  Parameters: {"locale"=>"en"}

Am I missing something?

you are probably missing this one: #95

Ok, I'm a collaborator, but I don't know how to solve this :)

Closing here, please share your thoughts in #95. If it is not the same issue feel free to comment here

Hi @tagliala thanks for commenting.

From what I understanding, #95 is about generating the right routes. In my case, I'm having trouble getting the locale correctly assigned from the subdomain.

Did I understand right?

Did you get the subdomain locale detection to work on your side?

I think that the issue I'm having is the same issue as yours, because I don't get the exact locale in the root path, and it is probably the cause of the wrong urls:

when I visit http://it.lvh.me:3000 I can't see the Italian translation, because something is messing up with the :locale param

I'm using a custom solution at the moment. Just skipped host_locales and implemented by myself in an around filter

Can you share how you solved the locale detection from subdomain? I read the issues you posted but couldn't find any that worked for me.

Something like this:

route_translator.rb

RouteTranslator.config do |config|
  config.hide_locale = true
end

development.rb

  # Map domains to languages
  DOMAIN_LANGUAGE = {
    'it.lvh.me' => :it,
    'en.lvh.me' => :en,
    'de.lvh.me' => :de
  }

application_controller.rb

  skip_around_action :set_locale_from_url
  around_action :set_site_locale

  def set_site_locale(&block)
    I18n.with_locale DOMAIN_LANGUAGE[request.host], &block
  end
