How do I change the name of a label in a form?

luislavena · August 28, 2011, 7:01pm

Hi,

Instead of having on the labels the field name I would like to change it
some customized values.

How can I change that ?

Regards

%= form_for(@client_workout) do |f| %>

<%= f.label :client_name %>
<%= f.text_field :client_name %>

<%= f.label :trainer %>
<%= f.text_field :trainer %>

<%= f.label :duration_min %>
<%= f.text_field :duration_min %>

<%= f.label :date_of_workout %>
<%= f.date_select :date_of_workout %>

<%= f.label :paid_amount %>
<%= f.text_field :paid_amount %>

<%= f.submit %>

<% end %>

I always wondered, is there a way you can change the f.label at a
model label so regardless of where its used it always has the updated
label? is it somewhere in the localization file? or does this just
indicate for rails to have a best guess at what it is. I tried
defining them in a language file once but it never seemed to pick them
up.
