I18n file to change an attribute's name
If you are using Active Record, use a locale file like the one below to change a model’s attribute’s human name.
en: activerecord: attributes: picture: explanation: Description
Without using the locale file:
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > Picture.human_attribute_name("explanation") => "Explanation"
Using the locale file:
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > Picture.human_attribute_name("explanation") => "Description"
Default values
For common attributes in several models, you can set a default human name like this:
de.yml
de: attributes: bez: Bezeichnung abk: Abkürzung
Works also with Mongoid
What works for Active Record, also works for Mongoid:
de: mongoid: attributes: picture: explanation: Description
Nested i18n attributes
If you want to use nested attributes in a i18n file (like person :has_many => :addresses), write:
en: activerecord: attributes: person: name: "person/addresses": street: "Street name" "person/phones": area: "Area code" number: Number
