In the MySQL table there is an Employees table with the following fields:


legalname : string
phonename : string
nickname : string

and here's my app.en.yml file:

en:
  hello: "Hello world"

  activerecord:
    attributes:
      employee: legalname
        legalname: Legal Name

The idea is to make it so that when I first enter the Employees tab, it will 
use 
the field legalname instead of looking for a field called "name".  And to 
relabel the field legalname, when viewing or editing an individual employee, to 
something more readable like Legal Name.

The last working file was missing the part "legalname" after "employee:" and it 
did relabel Legal Name  correctly.  So I know I'm close.  Instead of seeing 
Employee1 on the intro list...I would like to see "Arthur E. Baldwin" from the 
contents of the database field legalname.

OK what is going on here!  I read both of the fully released books and did a 
Find operation on app.en.yml but there was absolutely no reference to it!  So I 
think it's a new feature in 1.3 that has not been documented yet.  In the new 
beta book, it is mentioned but much of that is crossed out in the .docx 
version.  And the ViewHints directory is missing from 1.3...so I can't use that 
method either.  I'm getting desperate and very, very upset...would someone 
PLEASE give me some help!!!!  By the way, I Googled for "app.en.yml" and it 
returned only 15 results, none of which were useful.  Is the "i18n" portion of 
hobo being abandoned...or is it just slow?  The approach of using app.en.yml 
seems like a wonderful idea...but I need to know how to use it.
