The first thing that you need to do is to set your locale by appending it to boot.rb:
# config/boot.rb
Padrino.before_load do
I18n.locale = :de
end
By default Padrino will search for all .yml or .rb files located in app/locale; as an example try to add the following to your app/locale/de.yml:
in your view or controller or wherever you prefer add:
I18n.t("foo")
you will get:
=> "Bar"
Translating models via Padrino requires few seconds thanks to a builtin rake task!
Assuming the following Account model:
create_table :accounts do |t|
t.string :name
t.string :surname
t.string :email
t.string :salt
t.string :crypted_password
t.string :role
end
add this to your boot.rb (or anywhere else):
# config/boot.rb
Padrino.before_load do
I18n.locale = :it
end
run padrino rake task for localizing your model:
padrino rake ar:translate
a new it.yml file will be created into /app/locale/models/account/it.yml with the following:
you can now edit your generated it.yml file to reflect your current locale (Italian):
padrino-admin will now use your newly created yml file for translating the column names of grids, forms, error_messages etc…
Using form_builder like:
-form_for :account, url(:accounts_create, :format => :js), :remote => true do |f|
%table
%tr
%td=f.label :name
%td=f.text_field :name
%tr
%td=f.label :surname
%td=f.text_field :surname
%tr
%td=f.label :role
%td=f.select :role, :options => access_control.roles
the tag label automatically translates for you the field name!!
