module AbstractController module Translation # Delegates to I18n.translate. Also aliased as t. # # When the given key starts with a period, it will be scoped by the current # controller and action. So if you call translate(".foo") from # PeopleController#index, it will convert the call to # I18n.translate("people.index.foo").
