Module: ActiveModel::Translation

Includes:
Naming
Included in:
ActiveRecord::Translation
Defined in:
activemodel/lib/active_model/translation.rb

Overview

Active Model Translation

Provides integration between your object and the Rails internationalization (i18n) framework.

A minimal implementation could be:

class TranslatedPerson
  extend ActiveModel::Translation
end

TranslatedPerson.human_attribute_name('my_attribute')
# => "My attribute"

This also provides the required class methods for hooking into the Rails internationalization API, including being able to define a class-based i18n_scope and lookup_ancestors to find translations in parent classes.

Instance Method Details

#human_attribute_name(attribute, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Transforms attribute names into a more human format, such as “First name” instead of “first_name”.

Person.human_attribute_name("first_name") # => "First name"

Specify options with additional translating options.

#i18n_scope ⇒ Object

Returns the i18n_scope for the class. Override if you want custom lookup.

#lookup_ancestors ⇒ Object

When localizing a string, it goes through the lookup returned by this method, which is used in ActiveModel::Name#human, ActiveModel::Errors#full_messages and ActiveModel::Translation#human_attribute_name.
