Rails: How to use i18n with Rails 4 enums

Question

Rails 4 Active Record Enums are great, but what is the right pattern for translating with i18n?

Answer 1

You can simply add a helper:

def my_something_list
  modes = 'activerecord.attributes.mymodel.my_somethings'
  I18n.t(modes).map {|k, v| [v, k]}
end

and set it up as usually:

en:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      mymodel:
        my_somethings:
           my_enum_value: "My enum Value!"

then use it with your select: my_something_list
