The initializer if forcing the :en locale (reopen #187)

[jbescoyez]

It seems the exact same issue as #187 has reappeared in edge.

The only workaround I found until now is to define config.i18n.locale = :fr # your locale in application.rb.

Can you raise an error inside the I18n library to trace out where this is happening in RA?

[jbescoyez]

The problem is actually happening since I18n.locale is called in the rails_admin initalizer before I18n.default_locale= in application.rb. Here is the stack trace:

Thx! I'll have a look.

[yorkxin]

Same here.

For now I put I18n.locale = 'my_locale' in initializers/rails_admin.rb after the RailsAdmin.config block to resolve this problem temporarily.

Is it possible to read main application's default locale when RailsAdmin is initialized in engine.rb ?

[bbenezech]

Won't fix for now (design): we need to access default locale before Rails sets it in application.rb
Added a workaround for newcomers, can't do much more for now.

[zolzaya]

This is not work for me :(. I'm using Rails 3.2.11. Any idea how to make it work?

[x-ji]

Also not working for me. Although /admin panel itself loads fine, still getting I18n::InvalidLocale - :en is not a valid locale error if I click on a specific model in the panel, even after adding that line
