# encoding: utf-8 # I18n locale fallbacks are useful when you want your application to use # translations from other locales when translations for the current locale are # missing.

E.g. for the # locale :"de-DE" it might try the locales :"de-DE", :de and :en # (depends on the fallbacks implementation) until it finds a result with # the given options.
