Is there a tool for assisting with ruby/rails internationalization?

Question

I'm looking for something that will help me to internationalize an existing rails application using I18n. Ideally it would locate string constants (with parameters) and allow me to extract those into a .yml or .rb file replacing the original string with the appropriate t(...) call. Also, or alternatively, a macro to do the same on selected text. I mainly use eclipse but could use something else for this task (vim?) as long as it is free to use.

There appears to be a plugin for TextMate that does the job (though mainly for new code) and I know that rgettext/xgettext will do a similar job for gettext localization but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything to make the job easier with I18n.

I'm not sure if it does exactly what you're after, but you might find DHH's Tolk project to be useful.
