DESCRIPTION

ActiveRecord i18n Defaults is a Rails 2.2 plugin that lets you define translations for common attributes used in more that one model.

INSTALLATION

Install the plugin from your Rails project root:

script/plugin install git://github.com/dcrec1/activerecord_i18n_defaults.git

USAGE

Define your ActiveRecord default attributes like this:

en-US:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      _all:
        login: "Login"
      admin:
        login: "Custom Login"
      user:
        name: "Name"

Then use the I18n API as usual. If an attribute for a model is not found, it will be searched in _all atributes.
