Rails 3: production environment change locale but doesn't translate text [w/ custom fallbacks]

I have this app in which I use a bunch of locales (which are adjusted to be more suited to the domain of the app, ex: instead of using es-MX, I just use mx as locale)

And I have configured the fallbacks in application.rb

config.i18n.default_locale = :en
config.i18n.fallbacks = {
  # sites
  'cl' => 'es',
  'mx' => 'es',
  'lat' => 'es',
  'br' => 'en',
  'us' => 'en',

  # lang
  'es' => 'en',
  'pt' => 'br',
}

And I set the locale by url ex: localhost:3001/cl (for chilean locale)

here's my code in app_controller

 before_filter :set_locale

  private

  def set_locale
    if supported_locale?(params[:locale])
      I18n.locale = params[:locale]
    end
  end

And my routes

  # public urls for sites
  scope '/:locale' do

    # index
    match '/' => 'main#index', via: :get, as: :site
  end

So, the thing is when I am in production I have localhost:3001/cl and it calls the _logo.cl.html.erb partial and the locale printed in the console it's cl. But the text are still in english. And in development everything works fine. Anyone has any idea about this?

I'll leave a couple of images

production/us production/us production/cl production/cl development/cl development/cl

The thing was that the production.rb file define

# Enable locale fallbacks for I18n (makes lookups for any locale fall back to       
# the I18n.default_locale when a translation can not be found)
config.i18n.fallbacks = true

overwriting the custom fallback rules that I had defined in application.rb and I just remove those lines and the problem was solved
