Translate model's plural form

Question

I have got a model, that is called vehicle.

In my translation the model must be: vehicle => Fahrzeug vehicles => Fahrzeuge

I tried to set this in the locales file, but it did not work:

  activerecord:
    models:
      vehicle: Fahrzeug
      vehicles: Fahrzeuge

Answer 1

ActiveRecord first translates the model name using I18n.translate with default

:count => 1

Pluralizing this string afterwards dosn't know about model translations.

But, human accepts options so

Vehicle.model_name.human(:count => 2)

does the trick together with pluralized translations:

de:
  activerecord:
    models:
      vehicle:
        one: 'Fahrzeug'
        other: 'Fahrzeuge'
