hello list, i try to add a new format to my locales file de.yml i looks like that: de: number: square_meter: format: unit: ''m²'' format: "%n %u" precision: 2 separator: '','' delimiter: ''.'' after that i''ve copied the number_to_currency method to the application_controller.rb to get maximum comfort :) but i get the default view of numbers, so it doesnt find my new yml section def number_to_square_meter(number, options = {}) options.symbolize_keys! defaults = I18n.translate(''number.format''''number.format'', :locale => options[:locale], :raise => true) rescue {} currency I18n.translate(''number.square_meter.format''''number.square_meter.format'', :locale => options[:locale], :raise => true) rescue {} defaults = defaults.merge(currency) precision = options[:precision] || defaults[:precision] unit = options[:unit] || defaults[:unit] separator = options[:separator] || defaults[:separator] delimiter = options[:delimiter] || defaults[:delimiter] format = options[:format] || defaults[:format] separator = '''' if precision == 0 begin format.gsub(/%n/, number_with_precision(number, :precision => precision, :delimiter => delimiter, :separator => separator) ).gsub(/%u/, unit) rescue number end end do you have any idea how can i solve that? thanks best regards matthias -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
