[BUG] I18n.transliterate broken

[laurafeier]

What I tried to do

• I18n.transliterate("ț") where "ț" is defined in i18n.transliterate.rule with value of t

What I expected to happen

• Result should be the value defined in i18n.transliterate.rule, for this example t

What actually happened

• result is "?"

Examples

Example of working code with

• ruby 3.1.0
• rails 6.1.4.4,
• i18n 1.8.11

  irb(main):001:0> I18n.t("i18n.transliterate.rule.ț")
  => "t"
  irb(main):002:0> I18n.transliterate("ț")
  => "t"
  irb(main):003:0> I18n.t("i18n.transliterate.rule")
  => {:ș=>"s", :ț=>"t", :Ș=>"S", :Ț=>"T"}

Same example, broken behaviour, with

• ruby 3.1.0
• rails 6.1.4.4,
• i18n 1.9.1

  irb(main):001:0> I18n.t("i18n.transliterate.rule.ț")
  => "translation missing: en.i18n.transliterate.rule.ț"
  irb(main):002:0> I18n.transliterate("ț")
  => "?"
  irb(main):003:0> I18n.t("i18n.transliterate.rule")
  => {:"\xC8\x99"=>"s", :"\xC8\x9B"=>"t", :"\xC8\x98"=>"S", :"\xC8\x9A"=>"T"}
