Hi:

I have a problem with the plural of fracancia, I got fragancium but in  
spanish is fragancia.

I modified inflections in environment.rb

Inflector.inflections do |i|  
i.irregular ‘fragancia’, ‘fragancias’  
end

but is ignored.

The solution that I found was comment this inflection on inflections.rb

#inflect.singular(/([ti])a$/i, ‘\1um’)

Any idea?

thanks

P

Did you restart your server after you made this change?

The config is only loaded once, unlike application code.

Assuming that fragancias is the plural of fragancia, your code should be  
working.

If fragancia is the plural of fracanica, as you stated in your first  
sentence, you need to change your code.

I don’t know running via dispatch.rb.

I would try running through webrick to verify that your inflection rule  
is working correctly and then work on the configuration issue.

I dont know if Inflector.inflections has effect on environment.rb. How  
can I check that?

This issue starts when upgraded form rails 1.0 to 1.1.0 and 1.1.1.

Is a bug of rails 1.1.x?

Any Idea?

thanks
