Answer 1

As of Rails 3.2.0, the i18n yaml has changed to

en: 
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      survey_response:
        foo: "Foo"
      survey_response/answers:
        answer_text: "Response"

(Note the slash.) This also permits you to define an attribute name on the collection itself, e.g.

en: 
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      survey_response:
        foo: "Foo"
        answers: "Ripostes"
      survey_response/answers:
        answer_text: "Response"

Answer 2

Try this:

en: 
  activerecord:
    models:
      survey_response:
        answers:
          answer_text: "Response"

I am using Rails 3 and this is working for me (my i18n file is a bit different, using "attributes" instead of models. I don't know if this works in 2.3)

en: 
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      survey_response:
        answers:
          answer_text: "Response"

Before that I was trying to create a attribute in the yml called "answers_answer_text" but it was not working.

I hope this solves your issue.
