+## Version Notice
+
+The `main` branch (including this README) is for latest `3.0.0` instead of
+`2.x`.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Installation
+
+#### Rails app
+
+Add the gem to your Gemfile.
+
+```ruby
+gem "i18n-js"
+```
+
+#### Rails with [webpacker](https://github.com/rails/webpacker)
+
+If you're using `webpacker`, you may need to add the dependencies to your client
+with:
+
+```
+yarn add i18n-js
+# or, if you're using npm,
+npm install i18n-js
+```
+
+For more details, see:
+- [this gist](https://gist.github.com/bazzel/ecdff4718962e57c2d5569cf01d332fe)
+- https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/issues/597
+
+#### Rails app with [Asset Pipeline](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html)
+
+If you're using the
+[asset pipeline](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html), then you
+must add the following line to your `app/assets/javascripts/application.js`.
+
+```javascript
+//
+// This is optional (in case you have `I18n is not defined` error)
+// If you want to put this line, you must put it BEFORE `i18n/translations`
+//= require i18n
+// Some people even need to add the extension to make it work, see https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/issues/283
+//= require i18n.js
+//
+// This is a must
+//= require i18n/translations
+```
+
+#### Rails app without [Asset Pipeline](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html)
+
+First, put this in your `application.html` (layout file). Then get the JS files
+following the instructions below.
+
+```erb
+<%# This is just an example, you can put `i18n.js` and `translations.js` anywhere you like %>
+<%# Unlike the Asset Pipeline example, you need to require both **in order** %>
+<%= javascript_include_tag "i18n" %>
+<%= javascript_include_tag "translations", skip_pipeline: true %>
+```
+
+**There are two ways to get `translations.js` (For Rails app without Asset
+Pipeline).**
+
+1. This `translations.js` file can be automatically generated by the
+   `I18n::JS::Middleware`. Just add `config.middleware.use I18n::JS::Middleware`
+   to your `config/application.rb` file.
+2. If you can't or prefer not to generate this file, you can move the middleware
+   line to your `config/environments/development.rb` file and run
+   `rake i18n:js:export` before deploying. This will export all translation
+   files, including the custom scopes you may have defined on
+   `config/i18n-js.yml`. If `I18n.available_locales` is set (e.g. in your Rails
+   `config/application.rb` file) then only the specified locales will be
+   exported. Current version of `i18n.js` will also be exported to avoid version
+   mismatching by downloading.
+
+#### Export Configuration (For translations)
+
+Exported translation files generated by `I18n::JS::Middleware` or
+`rake i18n:js:export` can be customized with config file `config/i18n-js.yml`
+(use `rails generate i18n:js:config` to create it). You can even get more files
+generated to different folders and with different translations to best suit your
+needs. The config file also affects developers using Asset Pipeline to require
+translations. Except the option `file`, since all translations are required by
+adding `//= require i18n/translations`.
+
+Examples:
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/path-to-your-messages-file.js"
+    only: "*.date.formats"
+  - file: "public/javascripts/path-to-your-second-file.js"
+    only: ["*.activerecord", "*.admin.*.title"]
+```
+
+If `only` is omitted all the translations will be saved. Also, make sure you add
+that initial `*`; it specifies that all languages will be exported. If you want
+to export only one language, you can do something like this:
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/en.js"
+    only: "en.*"
+  - file: "public/javascripts/pt-BR.js"
+    only: "pt-BR.*"
+```
+
+Optionally, you can auto generate a translation file per available locale if you
+specify the `%{locale}` placeholder.
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: "*"
+  - file: "public/javascripts/frontend/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: ["*.frontend", "*.users.*"]
+```
+
+You can also include ERB in your config file.
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+<% Widgets.each do |widget| %>
+- file: <%= "'#{widget.file}'" %>
+  only: <%= "'#{widget.only}'" %>
+<% end %>
+```
+
+You are able to exclude certain phrases or whole groups of phrases by specifying
+the YAML key(s) in the `except` configuration option. The outputted JS
+translations file (exported or generated by the middleware) will omit any keys
+listed in `except` configuration param:
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - except: ["*.active_admin", "*.ransack", "*.activerecord.errors"]
+```
+
+#### Export Configuration (For other things)
+
+- `I18n::JS.config_file_path` Expected Type: `String` Default:
+  `config/i18n-js.yml` Behaviour: Try to read the config file from that location
+
+- `I18n::JS.export_i18n_js_dir_path` Expected Type: `String` Default:
+  `public/javascripts` Behaviour:
+
+  - Any `String`: considered as a relative path for a folder to `Rails.root` and
+    export `i18n.js` to that folder for `rake i18n:js:export`
+  - Any non-`String` (`nil`, `false`, `:none`, etc): Disable `i18n.js` exporting
+
+- `I18n::JS.sort_translation_keys` Expected Type: `Boolean` Default: `true`
+  Behaviour:
+
+  - Sets whether or not to deep sort all translation keys in order to generate
+    identical output for the same translations
+  - Set to true to ensure identical asset fingerprints for the asset pipeline
+
+- You may also set `export_i18n_js` and `sort_translation_keys` in your config
+  file, e.g.:
+
+```yaml
+export_i18n_js: false
+# OR
+export_i18n_js: "my/path"
+
+sort_translation_keys: false
+
+translations:
+  - ...
+```
+
+To find more examples on how to use the configuration file please refer to the
+tests.
+
+#### Fallbacks
+
+If you specify the `fallbacks` option, you will be able to fill missing
+translations with those inside fallback locale(s). Default value is `true`.
+
+Examples:
+
+```yaml
+fallbacks: true
+
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: "*"
+```
+
+This will enable merging fallbacks into each file. (set to `false` to disable).
+If you use `I18n` with fallbacks, the fallbacks defined there will be used.
+Otherwise `I18n.default_locale` will be used.
+
+```yaml
+fallbacks: :de
+
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: "*"
+```
+
+Here, the specified locale `:de` will be used as fallback for all locales.
+
+```yaml
+fallbacks:
+  fr: ["de", "en"]
+  de: "en"
+
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: "*"
+```
+
+Fallbacks defined will be used, if not defined (e.g. `:pl`) `I18n.fallbacks` or
+`I18n.default_locale` will be used.
+
+```yaml
+fallbacks: :default_locale
+
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: "*"
+```
+
+Setting the option to `:default_locale` will enforce the fallback to use the
+`I18n.default_locale`, ignoring `I18n.fallbacks`.
+
+Examples:
+
+```yaml
+fallbacks: false
+
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/%{locale}.js"
+    only: "*"
+```
+
+You must disable this feature by setting the option to `false`.
+
+To find more examples on how to use the configuration file please refer to the
+tests.
+
+#### Namespace
+
+Setting the `namespace` option will change the namespace of the output
+Javascript file to something other than `I18n`. This can be useful in
+no-conflict scenarios. Example:
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/translations.js"
+    namespace: "MyNamespace"
+```
+
+will create:
+
+```
+MyNamespace.translations || (MyNamespace.translations = {});
+MyNamespace.translations["en"] = { ... }
+```
+
+### Adding prefix & suffix to the translations file(s)
+
+Setting the `prefix: "import I18n from 'i18n-js';\n"` option will add the line
+at the beginning of the resultant translation file. This can be useful to use
+this gem with the [i18n-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n-js) npm package,
+which is quite useful to use it with webpack. The user should provide the
+semi-colon and the newline character if needed.
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/translations.js"
+    prefix: "import I18n from 'i18n-js';\n"
+```
+
+will create:
+
+```
+import I18n from 'i18n-js';
+I18n.translations || (I18n.translations = {});
+```
+
+`suffix` option is added in https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/pull/561.  
+It's similar to `prefix` so won't explain it in details.
+
+#### Pretty Print
+
+Set the `pretty_print` option if you would like whitespace and indentation in
+your output file (default: false)
+
+```yaml
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/translations.js"
+    pretty_print: true
+```
+
+#### Javascript Deep Merge (:js_extend option)
+
+By default, the output file Javascript will call the `I18n.extend` method to
+ensure that newly loaded locale files are deep-merged with any locale data
+already in memory. To disable this either globally or per-file, set the
+`js_extend` option to false
+
+```yaml
+js_extend: false # this will disable Javascript I18n.extend globally
+translations:
+  - file: "public/javascripts/i18n/translations.js"
+    js_extend: false # this will disable Javascript I18n.extend for this file
+```
+
+#### Vanilla JavaScript
+
+Just add the `i18n.js` file to your page. You'll have to build the translations
+object by hand or using your favorite programming language. More info below.
+
+#### Via NPM with webpack and CommonJS
+
+Add the following line to your package.json dependencies where version is the
+version you want:
+
+```javascript
+"i18n-js": "{version_constraint}"
+
+// Or if you want unreleased version
+// npm install requires it to be the gzipped tarball, see [npm install](https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-install.html)
+"i18n-js": "https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/archive/{tag_name_or_branch_name_or_commit_sha}.tar.gz"
+```
+
+Run npm install then use via
+
+```javascript
+var i18n = require("i18n-js");
+```
+
+### Setting up
+
+You **don't** need to set up a thing. The default settings will work just okay.
+But if you want to split translations into several files or specify contexts,
+you can follow the rest of this setting up section.
+
+Set your locale is easy as
+
+```javascript
+I18n.defaultLocale = "pt-BR";
+I18n.locale = "pt-BR";
+I18n.currentLocale();
+// pt-BR
+```
+
+**NOTE:** You can now apply your configuration **before I18n** is loaded like
+this:
+
+```javascript
+I18n = {}; // You must define this object in top namespace, which should be `window`
+I18n.defaultLocale = "pt-BR";
+I18n.locale = "pt-BR";
+
+// Load I18n from `i18n.js`, `application.js` or whatever
+
+I18n.currentLocale();
+// pt-BR
+```
+
+In practice, you'll have something like the following in your
+`application.html.erb`:
+
+```erb
+<script type="text/javascript">
+  I18n.defaultLocale = "<%= I18n.default_locale %>";
+  I18n.locale = "<%= I18n.locale %>";
+</script>
+```
+
+You can use translate your messages:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.t("some.scoped.translation");
+// or translate with explicit setting of locale
+I18n.t("some.scoped.translation", { locale: "fr" });
+```
+
+You can also interpolate values:
+
+```javascript
+// You need the `translations` object setup first
+I18n.translations["en"] = {
+  greeting: "Hello %{name}",
+};
+
+I18n.t("greeting", { name: "John Doe" });
+```
+
+You can set default values for missing scopes:
+
+```javascript
+// simple translation
+I18n.t("some.missing.scope", { defaultValue: "A default message" });
+
+// with interpolation
+I18n.t("noun", { defaultValue: "I'm a {{noun}}", noun: "Mac" });
+```
+
+You can also provide a list of default fallbacks for missing scopes:
+
+```javascript
+// As a scope
+I18n.t("some.missing.scope", { defaults: [{ scope: "some.existing.scope" }] });
+
+// As a simple translation
+I18n.t("some.missing.scope", { defaults: [{ message: "Some message" }] });
+```
+
+Default values must be provided as an array of hashes where the key is the type
+of translation desired, a `scope` or a `message`. The translation returned will
+be either the first scope recognized, or the first message defined.
+
+The translation will fallback to the `defaultValue` translation if no scope in
+`defaults` matches and if no default of type `message` is found.
+
+Translation fallback can be enabled by enabling the `I18n.fallbacks` option:
+
+```erb
+<script type="text/javascript">
+  I18n.fallbacks = true;
+</script>
+```
+
+By default missing translations will first be looked for in less specific
+versions of the requested locale and if that fails by taking them from your
+`I18n.defaultLocale`.
+
+```javascript
+// if I18n.defaultLocale = "en" and translation doesn't exist
+// for I18n.locale = "de-DE" this key will be taken from "de" locale scope
+// or, if that also doesn't exist, from "en" locale scope
+I18n.t("some.missing.scope");
+```
+
+Custom fallback rules can also be specified for a particular language. There are
+three different ways of doing it so:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.locales.no = ["nb", "en"];
+I18n.locales.no = "nb";
+I18n.locales.no = function (locale) {
+  return ["nb"];
+};
+```
+
+### Translation Missing Behaviour Control
+
+By default a missing translation will be displayed as
+
+    [missing "name of scope" translation]
+
+While you are developing or if you do not want to provide a translation in the
+default language you can set
+
+```javascript
+I18n.missingBehaviour = "guess";
+```
+
+this will take the last section of your scope and guess the intended value.
+Camel case becomes lower cased text and underscores are replaced with space
+
+    questionnaire.whatIsYourFavorite_ChristmasPresent
+
+becomes "what is your favorite Christmas present"
+
+#### Option `missingTranslationPrefix`
+
+In order to still detect untranslated strings, you can set
+`I18n.missingTranslationPrefix` to something like:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.missingTranslationPrefix = "EE: ";
+```
+
+And result will be:
+
+```javascript
+"EE: what is your favorite Christmas present";
+
+```
+
+This will help you doing automated tests against your localisation assets.
+
+#### Customize return when translation entry missing
+
+Some people prefer returning `null`/`undefined` for missing translation:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.missingTranslation = function (scope, options) {
+  return undefined;
+};
+```
+
+### Option `defaultSeparator` (global) / `separator` (local)
+
+Default separator of translation key is `.` (dot)
+Meaning `I18n.t("scope.entry")` would search for translation entry `I18n.translations[locale].scope.entry`
+Using a different separator can be done either globally or locally.
+
+Globally: `I18n.defaultSeparator = newSeparator`
+Locally: `I18n.t("full_sentences|Server Busy. Please retry later", {separator: '|'})`
+
+### Pluralization
+
+Pluralization is possible as well and by default provides English rules:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.t("inbox.counting", { count: 10 }); // You have 10 messages
+```
+
+The sample above expects the following translation:
+
+```yaml
+en:
+  inbox:
+    counting:
+      one: You have 1 new message
+      other: You have {{count}} new messages
+      zero: You have no messages
+```
+
+**NOTE:** Rails I18n recognizes the `zero` option.
+
+If you need special rules just define them for your language, for example
+Russian, just add a new pluralizer:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.pluralization["ru"] = function (count) {
+  var key =
+    count % 10 == 1 && count % 100 != 11
+      ? "one"
+      : [2, 3, 4].indexOf(count % 10) >= 0 &&
+        [12, 13, 14].indexOf(count % 100) < 0
+      ? "few"
+      : count % 10 == 0 ||
+        [5, 6, 7, 8, 9].indexOf(count % 10) >= 0 ||
+        [11, 12, 13, 14].indexOf(count % 100) >= 0
+      ? "many"
+      : "other";
+  return [key];
+};
+```
+
+You can find all rules on
+<https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/37/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html>.
+
+If you're using the same scope over and over again, you may use the `scope`
+option.
+
+```javascript
+var options = { scope: "activerecord.attributes.user" };
+
+I18n.t("name", options);
+I18n.t("email", options);
+I18n.t("username", options);
+```
+
+You can also provide an array as scope.
+
+```javascript
+// use the greetings.hello scope
+I18n.t(["greetings", "hello"]);
+```
+
+#### Number formatting
+
+Similar to Rails helpers, you have localized number and currency formatting.
+
+```javascript
+I18n.l("currency", 1990.99);
+// $1,990.99
+
+I18n.l("number", 1990.99);
+// 1,990.99
+
+I18n.l("percentage", 123.45);
+// 123.450%
+```
+
+To have more control over number formatting, you can use the `I18n.toNumber`,
+`I18n.toPercentage`, `I18n.toCurrency` and `I18n.toHumanSize` functions.
+
+```javascript
+I18n.toNumber(1000); // 1,000.000
+I18n.toCurrency(1000); // $1,000.00
+I18n.toPercentage(100); // 100.000%
+```
+
+The `toNumber` and `toPercentage` functions accept the following options:
+
+- `precision`: defaults to `3`
+- `separator`: defaults to `.`
+- `delimiter`: defaults to `,`
+- `strip_insignificant_zeros`: defaults to `false`
+
+See some number formatting examples:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.toNumber(1000, { precision: 0 }); // 1,000
+I18n.toNumber(1000, { delimiter: ".", separator: "," }); // 1.000,000
+I18n.toNumber(1000, { delimiter: ".", precision: 0 }); // 1.000
+```
+
+The `toCurrency` function accepts the following options:
+
+- `precision`: sets the level of precision
+- `separator`: sets the separator between the units
+- `delimiter`: sets the thousands delimiter
+- `format`: sets the format of the output string
+- `unit`: sets the denomination of the currency
+- `strip_insignificant_zeros`: defaults to `false`
+- `sign_first`: defaults to `true`
+
+You can provide only the options you want to override:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.toCurrency(1000, { precision: 0 }); // $1,000
+```
+
+The `toHumanSize` function accepts the following options:
+
+- `precision`: defaults to `1`
+- `separator`: defaults to `.`
+- `delimiter`: defaults to `""`
+- `strip_insignificant_zeros`: defaults to `false`
+- `format`: defaults to `%n%u`
+- `scope`: defaults to `""`
+
+<!---->
+
+```javascript
+I18n.toHumanSize(1234); // 1KB
+I18n.toHumanSize(1234 * 1024); // 1MB
+```
+
+#### Date formatting
+
+```javascript
+// accepted formats
+I18n.l("date.formats.short", "2009-09-18"); // yyyy-mm-dd
+I18n.l("time.formats.short", "2009-09-18 23:12:43"); // yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
+I18n.l("time.formats.short", "2009-11-09T18:10:34"); // JSON format with local Timezone (part of ISO-8601)
+I18n.l("time.formats.short", "2009-11-09T18:10:34Z"); // JSON format in UTC (part of ISO-8601)
+I18n.l("date.formats.short", 1251862029000); // Epoch time
+I18n.l("date.formats.short", "09/18/2009"); // mm/dd/yyyy
+I18n.l("date.formats.short", new Date()); // Date object
+```
+
+You can also add placeholders to the date format:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.translations["en"] = {
+  date: {
+    formats: {
+      ordinal_day: "%B %{day}",
+    },
+  },
+};
+
+I18n.l("date.formats.ordinal_day", "2009-09-18", { day: "18th" }); // Sep 18th
+```
+
+If you prefer, you can use the `I18n.toTime` and `I18n.strftime` functions to
+format dates.
+
+```javascript
+var date = new Date();

+    %c     - The preferred local date and time representation
+    %d     - Day of the month (01..31)
+    %-d    - Day of the month (1..31)
+    %H     - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock (00..23)
+    %-H/%k - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock (0..23)
+    %I     - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock (01..12)
+    %-I/%l - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock (1..12)

+
+#### Using pluralization and number formatting together
+
+Sometimes you might want to display translation with formatted number, like
+adding thousand delimiters to displayed number You can do this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "en": {
+    "point": {
+      "one": "1 Point",
+      "other": "{{formatted_number}} Points",
+      "zero": "0 Points"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```js
+var point_in_number = 1000;
+I18n.t("point", {
+  count: point_in_number,
+  formatted_number: I18n.toNumber(point_in_number),
+});
+```
+
+Output should be `1,000 points`
+
+## Using multiple exported translation files on a page.
+
+This method is useful for very large apps where a single contained
+translations.js file is not desirable. Examples would be a global translations
+file and a more specific route translation file.
+
+### Rails without asset pipeline
+
+1. Setup your `config/i18n-js.yml` to have multiple files and try to minimize
+   any overlap.
+
+```yaml
+sort_translation_keys: true
+fallbacks: false
+
+translations:
+  + file: "app/assets/javascript/nls/welcome.js"
+    only:
+      + '*.welcome.*'
+
+  + file: "app/assets/javascript/nls/albums.js"
+    only:
+      + '*.albums.*'
+
+  + file: "app/assets/javascript/nls/global.js"
+    only:
+      + '*'
+    # Exempt any routes specific translations from being
+    # included in the global translation file
+    except:
+      + '*.welcome.*'
+      + '*.albums.*'
+```
+
+When `rake i18n:js:export` is executed it will create 3 translations files that
+can be loaded via the `javascript_include_tag`
+
+2. Add the `javascript_include_tag` to your layout and to any route specific
+   files that will require it.
+
+```ruby
+  # views/layouts/application.html.erb
+  <%= javascript_include_tag(
+        "i18n"
+        "nls/global"
+      ) %>
+```
+
+and in the route specific
+
+```ruby
+  # views/welcome/index.html.erb
+  <%= javascript_include_tag(
+        "nls/welcome"
+      ) %>
+```
+
+3. Make sure that you add these files to your `config/application.rb`
+
+```ruby
+  config.assets.precompile += %w(
+    i18n
+    nls/*
+  )
+```
+
+### Using require.js / r.js
+
+To use this with require.js we are only going to change a few things from above.
+
+1. In your `config/i18n-js.yml` we need to add a better location for the i18n to
+   be exported to. You want to use this location so that it can be properly
+   precompiled by r.js.
+
+```yaml
+export_i18n_js: "app/assets/javascript/nls"
+```
+
+2. In your `config/require.yml` we need to add a map, shim all the translations,
+   and include them into the appropriate modules
+
+```yaml
+# In your maps add (if you do not have this you will need to add it)
+map:
+  '*':
+    i18n: 'nls/i18n'
+
+# In your shims
+shims:
+  nls/welcome:
+    deps:
+      + i18n
+
+  nls/global:
+    deps:
+      + i18n
+
+# Finally in your modules
+modules:
+  + name: 'application'
+    include:
+      + i18n
+      + 'nls/global'
+
+  + name: 'welcome'
+    exclude:
+      + application
+    include:
+      + 'nls/welcome'
+```
+
+3. When `rake assets:precompile` is executed it will optimize the translations
+   into the correct modules so they are loaded with their assigned module, and
+   loading them with requirejs is as simple as requiring any other shim.
+
+```javascript
+define(["welcome/other_asset", "nls/welcome"], function (otherAsset) {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+4. (optional) As an additional configuration we can make a task to be run before
+   the requirejs optimizer. This will allow any automated scripts that run the
+   requirejs optimizer to export the strings before we run r.js.
+
+```rake
+# lib/tasks/i18n.rake
+Rake::Task[:'i18n:js:export'].prerequisites.clear
+task :'i18n:js:export' => :'i18n:js:before_export'
+task :'requirejs:precompile:external' => :'i18n:js:export'
+
+namespace :i18n do
+  namespace :js do
+    task :before_export => :'assets:environment' do
+      I18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('config', 'locales', '*.{yml,rb}')]
+      I18n.backend.load_translations
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Using I18n.js with other languages (Python, PHP, ...)
+
+The JavaScript library is language agnostic; so you can use it with PHP, Python,
+[your favorite language here]. The only requirement is that you need to set the
+`translations` attribute like following:
+
+```javascript
+I18n.translations = {};
+
+I18n.translations["en"] = {
+  message: "Some special message for you",
+};
+
+I18n.translations["pt-BR"] = {
+  message: "Uma mensagem especial para você",
+};
+```
+
+## Known Issues
+
+### Missing translations in precompiled file(s) after adding any new locale file
+
+Due to the design of `sprockets`:
+
+- `depend_on` only takes file paths, not directory paths
+- registered `preprocessors` are only run when the fingerprint of any asset
+  file, including `.erb` files, is changed
+
+This means that new locale files will not be detected, and so they will not
+trigger a i18n-js refresh. There are a few approaches to work around this:
+
+1. You can force i18n-js to update its translations by completely clearing the
+   assets cache. Use one of the following:
+
+```bash
+$ rake assets:clobber
+# Or, with older versions of Rails:
+$ rake tmp:cache:clear
+```
+
+These commands will remove _all_ fingerprinted assets, and you will have to
+recompile them with
+
+```bash
+$ rake assets:precompile
+```
+
+or similar commands. If you are precompiling assets on the target machine(s),
+cached pages may be broken by this, so they will need to be refreshed.
+
+2. You can change something in a different locale file.
+
+3. Finally, you can change `config.assets.version`.
+
+**Note:** See issue [#213](https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/issues/213) for
+more details and discussion of this issue.
+
+### Translations in JS are not updated when Sprockets not loaded before this gem
+
+The "rails engine" declaration will try to detect existence of "sprockets"
+before adding the initailizer If sprockets is loaded after this gem, the
+preprocessor for making JS translations file cache to depend on content of
+locale files will not be hooked. So ensure sprockets is loaded before this gem
+by moving the entry of sprockets in the Gemfile or adding "require" statements
+for sprockets somewhere.
+
+**Note:** See issue [#404](https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/issues/404) for
+more details and discussion of this issue.
+
+### JS `I18n.toCurrency` & `I18n.toNumber` cannot handle large integers
+
+The above methods use `toFixed` and it only supports 53 bit integers. Ref:
+http://2ality.com/2012/07/large-integers.html
+
+Feel free to find & discuss possible solution(s) at issue
+[#511](https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/issues/511)
+
+### Only works with `Simple` backend
+
+If you set `I18n.backend` to something other than the default `Simple` backend,
+you will likely get an exception like this:
+
+```
+Undefined method 'initialized?' for <your backend class>
+```
+
+For now, i18n-js is only compatible with the `Simple` backend. If you need a
+more sophisticated backend for your rails application, like
+`I18n::Backend::ActiveRecord`, you can setup i18n-js to get translations from a
+separate `Simple` backend, by adding the following in an initializer:
+
+```ruby
+I18n::JS.backend = I18n.backend
+I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Chain.new(<your other backend(s)>, I18n.backend)
+```
+
+This will use your backend with the default `Simple` backend as fallback, while
+i18n-js only sees and uses the simple backend. This means however, that only
+translations from your static locale files will be present in JavaScript.
+
+If you do cannot use a `Chain`-Backend for some reason, you can also set
+
+```ruby
+I18n::JS.backend = I18n::Backend::Simple.new
+I18n.backend = <something different>
+```
+
+However, the automatic reloading of translations in developement will not work
+in this case. This is because Rails calls `I18n.reload!` for each request in
+development, but `reload!` will not be called on `I18n::JS.backend`, since it is
+a different object. One option would be to patch `I18n.reload!` in an
+initializer:
+
+```ruby
+module I18n
+  def self.reload!
+    I18n::JS.backend.reload!
+    super
+  end
+end
+```
+
+See issue [#428](https://github.com/fnando/i18n-js/issues/428) for more details
+and discussion of this issue.
