Rails i18n : "fr" is not a valid locale

Question

I would like to translate my rails application in two languages, french and english but got some problem. I've got the following error:

"fr" is not a valid locale

In my config/application.rb:

I18n.enforce_available_locales = false
I18n.config.available_locales = :fr
config.i18n.default_locale = :en

And in my controller, I receive the locale in parameters:

I18n.locale = export_params[:lang] || I18n.default_locale

I don't have any problem with the locale "en". My app is well translated but I've this error message when I use a different parameter than "en".

I use Rails 4.2.0

you need to provide configuration for `fr` in `config/locales/` as given for `en.yml` — Mani, Nov 19 '15 at 17:52
I did that. I've had a config/locales/fr.yml with my translation but it doesn't work... — Jean Creuzé des Châtelliers, Nov 20 '15 at 08:15

Check at your application.rb if config.i18n.available_locales = :en is set to your language and also check inside config/locales if you already heave your language.yml created there.

After all don't forget to reset your server
