I18n and the snowman param conflict

Question

I am using rails internationalization, so my URLs seem like this:

http://localhost:3000/dashboard/index?locale=es

I have a form with get method which appends the snowman param to the URL:

http://localhost:3000/dashboard/index?locale=es?utf8=%E2%9C%93&dateregistration=2013-06-20

instead:

    http://localhost:3000/dashboard/index?locale=es&utf8=%E2%9C%93&dateregistration=2013-06-20

The problem is that if I reload the location (F5)... I observe that param locale is:

p locale
:"es?utf8=V"

instead:

p locale
:es

so I18n doesn't works correctly.

Any ideas or suggestions?

thanks.

? should precede only the first parameter in a URL. The others should all be preceded with &.

So your form needs to produce the URL

http://localhost:3000/dashboard/index?locale=es&utf8=%E2%9C%93&dateregistration=2013-06-20

...note the & before utf8.

@user1364684: If you can show your form code, we might be able to help. Usually I'd expect it to Just Happen. – Chowlett Jun 27 '13 at 11:46
