I18n.t returns a empty hash when a translation is missing

Hello,

I’m migrating from rails 2.2.2 to rails 2.3.8 and I have a strange issue
with I18n.translate.

In rails 2.2.2 development, when I try to get an untranslated key I have
a error like “Translation missing: […]”

In rails 2.3.8 development, The I18n.t method returns an empty hash ({})
for the same missing translation.

In environment.rb, I have the following code that is related to the I18n
module:
config.after_initialize do

No fallback locales in development environment; we want to see those

translation missing errors.

fallbacks = {}
I18n.valid_locales.each do |l|
fallbacks[l] = [l]
end
I18n.fallbacks = fallbacks

Additionally, we log missing keys

require ‘globalize/i18n/missing_translations_log_handler’
I18n.missing_translations_logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
I18n.exception_handler = :missing_translations_log_handler
end

I tried to comment it out but it the same empty hash was returned.

Also, the I18n.t :default option seems to be broken as well. I suspect
this is due to my stange behavior.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
Christophe

Find out: it was the globalize2 plugin that caused this strange issue.
