Hi again! We got a new version of Trans!! 
The only change in the new 2.1.0 version is the support of Ecto 3.0 as a dependency. Client code using Trans should keep working as usual without any modification.
You can see the release notes on GitHub or fetch the new version fron hex.pm.
As usual, any comments, suggestions, issues or pull-requests are more than welcome!
Love 
Awesome. Just upgraded. The only change in my case was dropping off {:ecto, "~> 3.0", override: true} from my deps. Thank you!
Hi everybody! I’ve just published a new release of Trans!
Thanks to @sfusato and @gorav the main change in this 2.2.0 version is that the locale can now be passed as a string, so we can use Trans.Translator.translate/3 with the value returned by Gettext.get_locale/0 
For example we can now write something as:
Trans.Translator.translate(article, :title, Gettext.get_locale())
This release also removes Faker as a dependency, updates ExDoc and removes support for Elixir versions older than 1.6 (which are not officially supported by the core team anymore).

This is great to see, it makes it really easy for ex_cldr users to get in on the party too. For example:
Trans.Translator.translate(article, :title, MyApp.Cldr.get_locale().cldr_locale_name)
One thought for your consideration is locale naming.
A locale name in Gettext is: arbitrary strings as long as they match a directory name which is no issue for simple locale names like es. But it does create ambiguity when you want Spanish as spoken in Chile. Is it es-CL or es_CL or es-cl or ES_CL?
Posix locale names use _ as the separator between a language code and a territory code. Therefore es_CL. Posix locale names aren’t full language tags (in the Unicode sense) but of course they are very common and fulfil most requirements.
Unicode’s CLDR says The "-" and "_" separators are treated as equivalent, although "-" is preferred. Therefore es-CL.
BCP47 is the formal definition applied for locale name in ex_cldr and therefore uses the “-” in its canonical form. Whereas ICU, a common CLDR implementation, uses “_” since its primarily targeted at the posix-compliant world.
Last point, All identifier field values are case-insensitive at least as defined by ICU and CLDR.
I’ve found this to be a source of occasional confusion: Do I use - or _? Is es-cl the same as es-CL? Since both Gettext and CLDR allow either I force one canonical approach internally ex_cldr.
I like to suggest Trans consider the implications of this too since it now takes a string locale name key. Perhaps:
- and _ as equivalentex_cldr). This might have backward compatibility issues since its easy on a case insensitive file system (most Mac file systems, Windows) but not on Linux and friends.Thanks for a great library, hope this wasn’t too much of a dive into esoterica!
Hi again! I’ve just published a new release of Trans.
Thanks to @sfusato, @RxAssim and Philipp Waldmann for their awesome contributions:
translate/2 functiontranslate!/3 function.This release also updates the Trans dependencies to ensure clean compilations without warnings and requires Elixir 1.7 or higher.

Hi again! I’ve just published Trans 3.0.0.
Thanks to @kip , Kian-Meng Ang and Daniel Tinoco for their awesome contributions:
Trans.translations/2 generates the translation code for you. For most cases this macro will generate the required nested schemas so you don’t have to write the code manually. If you prefer to write the translation schemas yourself you can always continue to do it just like you did before.This release also updates Trans dependencies and bumps the minimum Elixir supported version to 1.11.
