override default pluralize for model-name in rails3
First of all, you need to stop using .pluralize
. It uses the Inflector (which is mainly used for Rails internals, e.g. guessing table names for model Sheet -> sheets).
Sheet.model_name.human # => "Beleg"
"Beleg".pluralize # => "Belegs"
What you should do is to use the :count
option.
Sheet.model_name.human(:count => 2) # => "Belege"
This requires that you have modified your de.yml
as such:
de:
...
activerecord:
...
models:
sheet:
one: Beleg
other: Belege
You can override pluralizations this way:
In config/initializers/inflections.rb
do:
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.irregular 'Beleg', 'Belege'
end
