Common attributes translations with activerecord_i18n_defaults

ActiveRecord, Ruby on Rails, i18n — Tags: , , , — dc.rec1 @ 7:40 pm

The plugin activerecord_i18n_defaults lets you write locale’s files in a Rails 2.2 application like this:

pt-BR:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      _all:
        login: "Identificação"
        name: "Nome"
      admin:
        age: "Idade"
      customer:
        nickname: "Apelido"
      user:
        email: "Endereço de e-mail"

instead of like this:

pt-BR:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      admin:
        login: "Identificação"
        name: "Nome"
        age: "Idade"
      customer:
        login: "Identificação"
        name: "Nome"
        nickname: "Apelido"
      user:
        login: "Identificação"
        name: "Nome"
        email: "Endereço de e-mail"

Next time you need to create a locale’s file put your common attributes in the key _all and DRY.
