i'm not quite sure i get the order of things. i translated the whole
yml file to the best of my ability and now do i need to put
your_key:
one: singular_word
many: paucal_word
other: plural_word
for every model at the top of the file or the version below? Because
unless I'm reading this wrong they should do the same thing
pl:
activerecord:
models:
your_model:
Once thats done what do i do with statements like edit_link:
"Edytuj {{model}}" where i need a 4th form not the base one ?
Also.. where do i put the I18n.t('your_key', :count => n) selecting
the singular,paucal, plural forms? Sorry its my first try at
internationalization and i'm green as grass
I'm gonna give an example so that I can be clear

Sorry to ask for a step by step guide but I have no idea how to call
those forms later in code (how do i tell i18n when to use what?).
Secondly how do i tell the app to use pl.dryml for rails messages
hobo.pl.dryml for hobo parts and app.pl for the grammar forms for my
app and all?
