Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Enhanced internationalization architecture with improved locale fallback handling to ensure more reliable language and translation support across all environments.
    • Consolidated locale configuration management from multiple environment-specific settings into a unified i18n initialization system for better maintainability.
    • Optimized locale loading behavior to reduce translation availability issues.

Replicated from ai-code-review-evaluation/discourse-coderabbit#9

The FallbackLocaleList object tells I18n::Backend::Fallbacks what order the
languages should be attempted in. Because of the translate_accelerator patch,
the SiteSetting.default_locale is *not* guaranteed to be fully loaded after the
server starts, so a call to ensure_loaded! is added after the locale is set for
the current user.

The declarations of config.i18n.fallbacks = true in the environment files were
actually garbage, because the I18n.default_locale was
SiteSetting.default_locale, so there was nothing to fall back to. *derp*

Walkthrough

This change refactors I18n configuration by consolidating fallback and pluralization setup from multiple environment files into a centralized initializer with a custom FallbackLocaleList class that defines locale fallbacks as [locale, SiteSetting.default_locale.to_sym, :en] and adds lazy-loading via ensure_loaded! methods.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Environment configuration removal
config/environments/production.rb, config/environments/profile.rb, config/cloud/cloud66/files/production.rb
Removed i18n locale fallback configuration blocks that previously set config.i18n.fallbacks = true
I18n initialization
config/initializers/i18n.rb
Added custom FallbackLocaleList class that extends Hash, defines fallback sequences per locale, and implements ensure_loaded! for lazy locale initialization. Integrated pluralization and fallbacks backends into I18n::Backend::Simple
Pluralization setup consolidation
config/initializers/pluralization.rb
Removed pluralization initializer code (now integrated into i18n.rb)
Application controller
app/controllers/application_controller.rb
Added call to I18n.fallbacks.ensure_loaded! in set_locale method after setting I18n.locale
Locale loading enhancement
lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator.rb
Added ensure_loaded!(locale) method to I18n singleton that conditionally loads locales and tracks loaded state via @loaded_locales

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Custom FallbackLocaleList implementation: Verify Hash subclass behavior, fallback sequence logic (locale → SiteSetting.default_locale → :en), and ensure_loaded! correctness
  • Backend integration: Confirm proper loading of pluralization and fallbacks backends and their interaction with I18n::Backend::Simple
  • Locale caching mechanism: Review @loaded_locales tracking logic in translate_accelerator.rb for race conditions or edge cases
  • Configuration migration completeness: Ensure all environment-specific fallback configurations are properly removed and that the centralized approach handles all scenarios previously covered

Poem

🐰 I18n paths now consolidated, clean,
Fallbacks flowing where they've never been,
Locales loaded just in time with care,
Pluralization mixed with fallbacks there!
Config consolidated—simpler still.

4-5: Consider using class reopening instead of send(:include).

While send(:include, ...) works correctly, RuboCop flags it as non-idiomatic. If you prefer to address the style warning, you could reopen the class:

-require 'i18n/backend/pluralization'
-I18n::Backend::Simple.send(:include, I18n::Backend::Pluralization)
+require 'i18n/backend/pluralization'
+class I18n::Backend::Simple
+  include I18n::Backend::Pluralization
+end

This is purely a style preference and the current code functions correctly.

As per static analysis hints.

158-159: LGTM! Fallback locales are now preloaded on each request.

This change ensures that all fallback locales for the current user's locale are loaded before the request proceeds. The ensure_loaded! method checks if locales are already loaded, so the performance impact after the first request should be minimal.

lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator.rb (1)

62-65: LGTM! Efficient locale loading with minimal lock contention.

The ensure_loaded! method provides a public interface for on-demand locale loading. The check on line 64 avoids acquiring the mutex in load_locale when the locale is already loaded, which is a sensible optimization for the common case.

config/initializers/i18n.rb (1)

12-23: Well-designed fallback mechanism with clear extension path.

The FallbackLocaleList class correctly implements the I18n fallbacks interface by inheriting from Hash and overriding the [] method. The fallback order [locale, default_locale, :en] with uniq.compact properly handles edge cases where the user locale might match the site default or English.

The TODO comment on lines 15-16 identifies a sensible future enhancement for language-specific fallbacks (e.g., Chinese variants).
