How to loop through all available I18n variables in Rails 4

Question

I have a certain numbers of I18n locale available defined in application.rb

config/application.rb

...
config.i18n.available_locales = [:at, :de, :ch]
...

I need to manually expire the cache for all languages at once in certain controller actions. Is there a way to loop through all languages ?

That wasn't that difficult in the end, I miss-spelt the method I thought it must be and hence it an error each time. If you are facing the same issue have a look on I18n.methods in Rails console.

To answer the question:

irb(main):001:0> I18n.methods

irb(main):002:0> I18n.available_locales
=> [:at, :de, :ch]

So available_locales is what I (and perhaps you) require.
