t() function

[dwormuth]

Can anyone provide a pointer to how the t() function works? It's a
little to short and common to find by grepping the source and I'm not
sure if it comes from web-app-theme or one of the javascript
libraries. Here's a snippet:

<li><a href="#"><%= t("web-app-theme.profile", :default =>
"Profile") %></a></li>

I want to maintain the theme, but use a link_to helper instead.

Hi,

t is an Alias for translate, check out 

http://apidock.com/rails/v3.0.0/ActionView/Helpers/TranslationHelper/translate

I use a 'quick_translate' method in my ApplicationHelper:

  def qt(method)

    key = "web-app-theme.#{method.underscore}"

    I18n.translate(key, :default => method)

    

  end

Then in my views do:

  %li

    = link_to qt("GoodsReceipts"), goods_receipts_path

And in my locale file have:

    goods_receipts: Entradas

Saludos,
