Default fallback

Vidmantas ยท Jan 11, 20102 thanks

You can specifly :default option which is useful when the translation is not found. For example:

t(:this_translation_doesnt_exist, :default => 'Ooops!')
# => Ooops!

Or even any number of "fallbacks" - the first not nil is returned: 

t(:missing, :default => [:missing_too, :existing, 'Sad panda'])
# => :existing translation

Good introduction to Rails I18n is http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html
