Maybe using the application helper is not a good idea, because it has methods specific to views, but you can make your own module and mix it in.
module TranslateForModels def t(*args); I18n.t(*args); end end ActiveRecord::Base.send :include, TranslateForModels The proper place would be in the lib directory.
