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
If you don't like explicit count number (like 2) you could use :many e.g.
Sheet.model_name.human(count => :many)or without hash rocket (for Ruby >= 1.9):
Sheet.model_name.human(count: :many)
