HumanizeAttributes
==================

Add humanity to Rails ActiveRecord column names.


Example
=======

  humanize_attributes :login => "User Name",
                      :password => "Secret Key"

Look for a more elegant way?
=======

Rails 2.2 has brought us powerful I18N, now we can localize ActiveRecord model names very easily, just drop the 
following in the config/locales/en.yml:

  en:
      activerecord:
          models:
              user: "Member"
          attributes:
              user:
                  login:    "User Name"
          password:  "Secret Key"
          
See [here](http://blog.ashchan.com/archive/2008/11/24/rails-i18n-activerecord-model-human-name-made-easy/) for more 
details.
