Getting currency unit for a given locale

Rails
1

How do I interrogate a given locale for it’s currency unit?

Obviously, I can parse my own Yaml translation files, but I’m assuming
that there is a simpler way to do it via a direct call to I18n, perhaps?

Thanks,
Wes

Answer:

I18n.translate(‘number.currency.format.unit’, :locale => ‘’)

Also remember there is a built-in i18n support for some methods, e.g.:
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > I18n.locale = :pl
=> :pl
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > number_to_currency 12.34
=> “12,34 PLN”
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > I18n.locale = :en
=> :en
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > number_to_currency 12.34
=> “$12.34”
