[OSM-dev] extracting output text from api_controller

[Xin Zheng]

Cool. I'm glad we can agree on this.
I'm working away at map method at the moment. I'll either apply the patch or
code in the functionalities before end of this week.

John,
The reason it's in a hash it because Ruby can load a yaml file straight into
it. A yaml file is basically a hash in file format. Imagine this in the
file:
en:
  this_text: "say something here"
  other_text: "say something else"
cn:
  this_text: "i'd type in chinese if I could"
  other_text: "some more stuff"

Ruby can then load all that into a hash to be easily used.
