Rails 3 I18n label translation for nested_attributes in has_many relationship

Question

Using: Rails 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2

Here\'s the relationship:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :contact_methods
  accepts_nested_attributes         


        

Answer 1

I did this with :

en:
  helpers:
    label:
      person[contact_methods_attributes][0]: 
        info: 'First custom label here'
      person[contact_methods_attributes][1]: 
        info: 'Second custom label here'

Which is nice but not ideal when you have unlimited options.. I would just specify a custom translation key in the form builder :)

en:
  helpers:
    label:
      person[contact_methods_attributes][any]: 
        info: 'Custom label here'

<% fields_for :contact_methods do |builder| %>
  <%= builder.label :info, t("helpers.person[contact_methods_attributes][any].info") %>
  <%= builder.text_field :info %>
<% end %>

EDIT : Don't know if it's a new feature but seems to work like a charm doing this :

en:
  helpers:
    label:
      person:
        contact_methods: 
          info: 'Custom label here'
