Ruby on Rails i18n - Want To Translate Custom Messages in Models

Question

I have attributes with special validation where I use the message clause to display a special message just for that validation. Here is one example:

validat         


        

Answer 1

I just walked through all this and found the rails guides for custom validators too hard-coded... I'm posting this here even though it's not exactly what you asked, but the Q title fits perfectly (which is why I read this post for my problem).

Custom validation with i18n message:

validate :something_custom?, if: :some_trigger_condition

def something_custom?
  if some_error_condition
    errors.add(:some_field_key, :some_custom_msg)
  end
end

# en.yml
activerecord: 
  errors:
    models:
      some_model:
        some_custom_msg: "This is i18n controlled. yay!"
