I need something to translate

format.html { redirect\_to(@news, :notice =\> ‘News was successfully  
created.’) }

This --\> ‘News was successfully created.’

so I make

controller\_created: “%{model} was successfully created”

For using it on every controller, but on the browser Im getting

%{model} was successfully created, so %{model} isn’t replaced by the  
model name, Is there a way of doing this?

Hi,  
I’m not 100% sure, but I think you have to close the -\>"" and add %  
(model).name.to\_s or %(model).to\_s !!
