Hey Sven,
thanks a lot :D
I had just another problem.
How to act with partials in translations?
especially with the submit button:
here my problem:
# _form.html.erb
<%= form_for(@customer) do |f| %>
#some code
<%= f.submit t("new.submit") %>
<% end %>
#locales/views/customers/de.yml
de:
new:
headline: "Kunden anlegen"
submit: "Kunden anlegen"
edit:
headline: "Kunden bearbeiten"
submit: "Kunden speichern"
How to set the buttons text depents on edit an new
<%= f.submit t("submit") %>
thanks to you!
Philip
