This plugin extends the I18n translations in controllers to behave the same way as views. This means, that each translation call beginning with a dot '.' will be prefixed with a namespace. This automatic scoping takes into account the modules, class name, and method name. So a call in Admin::UsersController.index will be prefixed with 'admin.users.index'.

This plugin only works with calls to t() and translate() within controllers which inherit from ActionController::Base. Calls to I18n.t() and I18n.translate() are not touched and keys will not be prefixed.

Note: This plugin has only been tested with rails3 and has a very limited test coverage. So please run your test suite before using it in production. I hope I will find time to extend it. Or just fork and add it yourself.

class UserController < ApplicationController

def create # your app logic redirect_to :index, :notice => t('.success') end

end

After creating a new user, this controller would redirect you to the users index and would show a flash notice message with the key

users.create.success
