How can I localize will_paginate in ruby on rails?
will_paginate accepts a Hash of options, including options to customize the previous/next labels.
<%= will_paginate @collection, :previous_label => t("previous"), :next_label => t("next") %>
In case someone else found the thread..., there is an another solution now.

The following is extracted from the above link.
As of will_paginate v2.3.16 and v3.0, some output of will_paginate view helper and the complete output of page_entries_info helper can be translated by means of the i18n library.
In Rails, this usually means adding your translations in YAML or ruby format in the "config/locale/" directory.
Translation keys and default values for the will_paginate helper can be seen here:
