RoRers,
I am often interested with technologies that interface with natural languages. These include machine translation systems, automatic (POS) taggers and speech recognition systems, to mention a few. Above all, I am a hardcore preacher of localization of software.
I am curious about the literal translation of the phrase "Ruby on Rails".
This question has been influenced by some the code snippets I have been seeing on this forum. They contain non-English words. They excite and energize me very much.
Of course, "Ruby on Rails" is a proper noun which is often not literally translated in localizations, but I am just curious about it.
More blessing,

Q: What is "Ruby on Rails" in your Language?
A: In my language, Chichewa, (a language in Malawi. ISO codes ny, nya.), "Ruby on Rails" is "Njero pa Njanje" (read as Njéro pâ Njânjé).
