rails latest stable - Class: AbstractController::Translation

translate(key, **options)

public

Delegates to I18n.translate.

When the given key starts with a period, it will be scoped by the current controller and action. So if you call translate(".foo") from PeopleController#index, it will convert the call to I18n.translate("people.index.foo"). This makes it less repetitive to translate many keys within the same controller / action and gives you a simple framework for scoping them consistently.

    def translate(key, **options)
      if key&.start_with?(".")
        path = controller_path.tr("/", ".")
        defaults = [:"#{path}#{key}"]
        defaults << options[:default] if options[:default]
        options[:default] = defaults.flatten
        key = "#{path}.#{action_name}#{key}"
      end

      if options[:default]
        options[:default] = [options[:default]] unless options[:default].is_a?(Array)
        options[:default] = options[:default].map do |value|
          value.is_a?(String) ? ERB::Util.html_escape(value) : value
        end
      end

      ActiveSupport::HtmlSafeTranslation.translate(key, **options)
    end
