I spent the rest of today building with this behavior. For every
string I created a short string that is easy to translate.
Example:
My cancel button as_('cancel_button')
the en.yml holds
cancel_button: "Cancel"
If you create a new project under Rails 2.2, you'll get the config/
locales/en.yml
if you want, here is the first few lines of mine.
# Sample localization file for English. Add more files in this
directory for other locales.
# See http://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails%2Flocale
for starting points.
en:
hello: "Hello world"
active_scaffold:
cancel_button: "Cancel"
If you find a string that does not get caught by the missing
translation error, simply enclose the string inside as_()
Example
<%= link_to 'Done' ...
Change to
<%= link_to as_('done') ...
Add the following to en.yml
done: "Done"
Makes a perfectly translatable application.
Good luck.
