Has anybody faced any problem to use i18n on Rails 2.3.5? Sometimes when  
I  
call the _t_ function, it works fine, but for some keys, it does not  
work  
and I have no clue why it is going on.

I do have a .yml with correct keys and values. For example, in this (  
[http://dev.promine.com.br/promine](http://dev.promine.com.br/promine)) page, i18n is working properly, but  
in  
this ([http://dev.promine.com.br/servicos](http://dev.promine.com.br/servicos)) one, it isn’t? Any suggestion  
about what is happening? Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know if the word “services” can be a key into a i18n file?  
If I  
use “service” I can get the value, but when I use “services” a  
translation\_mission error is showed. Really weird.

I figured out what was going on. I had defined a routes.yml to translate  
the  
routes and into this file I had a key “services: Services”. So, it was  
overwriting the value of a _services_ key (with children keys) that I  
had  
defined into another file. Thanks.
