Translations Documentation

This document outlines how translation files are to be used in view files.

YAML Syntax

A translation file should follow this structure:

Global Translations

Global translations should use the en.yml file

Usage example (config/locales/en.yml):

en:
    hello: "Hello"
    welcome_message: "Welcome to our application!"

Component-Specific Translations

Component specific translations can be put either in the config/locales/components folder or inside the respective component folder

Usage example (config/locales/components/form_entry.yml):

en:
  form_entry:
    type_here: "Type here"
pt:
  form_entry:
    type_here: "Digite aqui"

Usage inside the view (form_entry.html.erb)

<%= t(".type_here") %>

Usage inside a ViewComponent (form_entry.rb)

class FormEntry < LoopComponent
  def placeholder_text
    t(".type_here")
  end
end
