require 'action_view/helpers/tag_helper' module ActionView module Helpers module TranslationHelper # Delegates to I18n#translate but also performs three additional functions. First, it'll catch MissingTranslationData exceptions # and turn them into inline spans that contains the missing key, such that you can see in a view what is missing where. # # Second, it'll scope the key by the current partial if the key starts with a period. So if you call translate(".foo") from the # people/index.html.erb template, you'll actually be calling I18n.translate("people.index.foo"). This makes it less repetitive # to translate many keys within the same partials and gives you a simple framework for scoping them consistently. If you don't # prepend the key with a period, nothing is converted. # # Third, it’ll mark the translation as safe HTML if the key has the suffix "_html" or the last element of the key is the word # "html". For example, calling translate("footer_html") or translate("footer.html") will return a safe HTML string that won’t # be escaped by other HTML helper methods. This naming convention helps to identify translations that include HTML tags so that # you know what kind of output to expect when you call translate in a template. def translate(keys, options = {}) options[:raise] = true are_keys_a_string = keys.is_a?(String) keys = scope_keys_by_partial(keys) translations = I18n.translate(keys, options) translations = html_safe_translation_keys(keys, Array.wrap(translations)) are_keys_a_string ? translations.first : translations rescue I18n::MissingTranslationData => e keys = I18n.normalize_keys(e.locale, e.key, e.options[:scope]) content_tag('span', keys.join(', '), :class => 'translation_missing') end alias :t :translate # Delegates to I18n.localize with no additional functionality. def localize(*args) I18n.localize(*args) end alias :l :localize private def scope_keys_by_partial(keys) Array.wrap(keys).map do |key| if key.to_s.first == "." unless @_virtual_path raise "Cannot use t(#{key.inspect}) shortcut because path is not available" end @_virtual_path.gsub(%r{/_?}, ".") + key else key end end end def html_safe_translation_keys(keys, translations) keys.zip(translations).map do |key, translation| key =~ /(\b|_|\.)html$/ ? translation.html_safe : translation end end end end end
