I18n configuration under config/application.rb is ignored

I am trying to setup Internationalization in my app. I have setup config/application.rb as follows:

  class Application < Rails::Application

    I18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('config', 'locales', '**', '*.{rb,yml}')]
    I18n.enforce_available_locales = false

    I18n.available_locales = [:en, :fr]

    I18n.default_locale = :fr
  end

In my application_controller.rb I am trying to setup the locale based on a subdomain:

  before_action :set_locale

  def set_locale
    puts(I18n.default_locale)
    I18n.locale = extract_locale_from_subdomain || I18n.default_locale
  end

  def extract_locale_from_subdomain
    parsed_locale = request.subdomains.first
    I18n.available_locales.map(&:to_s).include?(parsed_locale) ? parsed_locale : nil
    puts(parsed_locale)
  end

The first puts prints en and the second one correctly prints the subdomain, eg gr, fr or whatever I set.

It seems that my configuration in config/application.rb is ignored.

I have added 127.0.0.1 fr.app.local into my etc/hosts so I can test it.

You need to edit the config object in your config/application.rb file.

I18n.default_locale = :fr won't give you what you want. You need to do config.i18n.default_locale = :fr

Try this:

class Application < Rails::Application
  config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('config', 'locales', '**', '*.{rb,yml}')]
  config.i18n.enforce_available_locales = false
  config.i18n.available_locales = [:en, :fr]
  config.i18n.default_locale = :fr
end
