I18n for model-specific Rails submit button
internationalization, rails-i18n, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Those labels can be customized using I18n under the +helpers.submit+ key
and using %{model} for translation interpolation:
en:
helpers:
submit:
create: "Create a %{model}"
update: "Confirm changes to %{model}"
It also searches for a key specific to the given object:
en:
helpers:
submit:
post:
create: "Add %{model}"
Source @ actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb
Problem
I've found that Rails allows for generic i18n of submit buttons via the following in `config/locales/en.yml`: ``` en: helpers: submit: create: "Create %{model}" submit: "Save %{model}" update: "Update %{model}" ``` However, I'm looking to update the `create` value only for one specific model. I'd like the text to read as "Upload %{model}" or just "Upload". How can I make this change for just one model (e.g.: a `Photo` model)?
