module ActiveModel # == Active \Model \Translation # # Provides integration between your object and the Rails internationalization # (i18n) framework. # # A minimal implementation could be: # # class TranslatedPerson # extend ActiveModel::Translation # end # # TranslatedPerson.human_attribute_name('my_attribute') # # => "My attribute" # # This also provides the required class methods for hooking into the # Rails internationalization API, including being able to define a # class based +i18n_scope+ and +lookup_ancestors+ to find translations in # parent classes. module Translation include ActiveModel::Naming # Returns the +i18n_scope+ for the class.
