Hi there! There is still no lazy translations for models. Do you want this functionality? I''ve got this module and can prepare a PR module ActiveModel module TranslationHelper extend ActiveSupport::Concern module ClassMethods def translate(key, options = {}) return I18n.translate(key, options) unless key.to_s.first == ''.'' strings_scope = "#{i18n_scope}.strings" defaults = lookup_ancestors.map do |klass| :"#{strings_scope}.#{klass.model_name.i18n_key}.#{key}" end defaults << :"strings.#{key}" defaults << options.delete(:default) if options[:default] options[:default] = defaults I18n.translate(defaults.shift, options) end alias :t :translate end def translate(*args) self.class.translate(*args) end alias :t :translate end end ActiveRecord::Base.send :include, ActiveModel::TranslationHelper Max -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
