Unfortunately there is no easy solution, and your case is still a
simple one, as your substitute is the user name.
"Search {{user}} posts" % [link_to("{{user}}'s" % [h(@user.name)],
user_path(@user))]
This works great in English but not in other languages.
It becomes a real pain, when you substitute entire words of a
sentence, you end up with bad grammar in other languages. Consider
this:
"Please accept this {{post}}!"
In the example below, if you substitute {{post}} for "blog" or
"article", it still makes lots of sense in English, but in Spanish,
German, etc. you have to deal with gender (der Artikel, e.g. "el",
"la") or conjugations, (German: der (nominative), des (genitiv),
dessen (dativ), dem (akkusative)).
The solutions I can think of today are:
* change the sentence structure so it works for other languages ->
least common denominator, does not really sound great, difficult as
you may not know enough about the languages
* don't substitute, e.g. have multiple combination for same sentence
depending on context

The problem is actually, that:
<%= t :search_users_posts, :user => @user.name %>
search_users_posts: "Search {{user}}'s posts"
Produces "Search user's posts" (that orphan 's doesn't look too good)
And not "Search user's posts" which the following would produce:
<%= t :search_users_posts, :user => @user.name, :possessive => true %>
search_users_posts: "Search {{user}} posts"
Is there an easy way to fix this?

Yeah you're right man, why don't I just do that. I was looking at
what our previous developer did. Thanks a lot Mr Andrés!
I love being useful

My bad, I shoulda explained, what I'm doing is something like
search_users_posts: "Search {{user}} posts"
<%= t :search_users_posts, :user => @user.name %>
en.yml :
search_users_posts: "Search {{user}}'s posts"
es.yml
search_users_posts: "Buscar los post de {{user}}"
Sorry, I think I still do not understand your problem.

Hi,
I'm using i.e. <%= t :search_users_posts, :possessive => true %> to
get "Search user's posts". But what if the language I'm translating
it to doesn't use apostrophe, how do I translate such things /
remove it?
Thanks
<%= t :search_users_posts %>
en.yml :
search_users_posts: "Search user's posts"
es.yml
search_users_posts: "Buscar los post del usuario"
Sorry, i don't understand the problem
