Hi there,
I have the following validation in a model:
validates_inclusion_of :whatever, :in => [true, false], :message =>
I18n.t(''please_select_whatever'')
It seems that the translation does not work in production mode: in all
languages it''s always the english translation that gets diplayed
(probably because I set english as the default locale in my app...?).
So I am assuming that we can''t translate validations in models, because
models get loaded only once - when the server is booted (and then, the
default locale would be applied).
Am I right? If yes, how would you solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
Tom

I suspect it''s still the same problem: it seems not possible to have translations in models (since they only get loaded once).

That''s what I get for skimming...
We used lambda which I believe was already shown.
from Kete''s app/models/choice.rb:
validates_uniqueness_of :label, :message => lambda {
I18n.t(''choice_model.must_be_unique'') }
Kieran, feel free to update with more info, if there are more details
to point out.

Hey, In order to get locales working at runtime, I made the ActiveRecord validations call a proc (IIRC, similar to how Rails 3 does it now). https://github.com/kete/kete/commit/5cd0e3fc728e76e88856e9dbec8d34639883924e If you''re using a Rails gem, or Rails is vendored, and you don''t want it to be lost when upgrading, put it in an all_extensions.rb initializer, like I did here: https://github.com/kete/kete/blob/master/config/initializers/all_extensions.rb#L98-107 Regards Kieran ---------------------------------------------------------------- Kieran Pilkington http://twitter.com/k776 - http://k776.tumblr.com On 16 December 2010 09:15, Walter McGinnis <walter.mcginnis-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> That''s what I get for skimming... > > We used lambda which I believe was already shown. > > from Kete''s app/models/choice.rb: > > validates_uniqueness_of :label, :message => lambda { > I18n.t(''choice_model.must_be_unique'') } > > Kieran, feel free to update with more info, if there are more details > to point out. > > Cheers, > Walter > > On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 9:07 AM, Walter McGinnis > <walter.mcginnis-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> We''ve done it in the Kete app (http://github.com/kete/kete), but I >> can''t recall the trick.
