Hello guys. I just started learning Rails and one of the first things  
I was interested was the localization of my website.  
I started looking the rails-i18n and it worked beautifully, except for  
some things. e.g.: i wanted the url to be /en/books instead of  
the locale=en, so I tried what they say on

> **[Rails Internationalization (I18n) API — Ruby on Rails Guides](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html)**
>
> Rails Internationalization (I18n) APIThe Ruby I18n (shorthand for internationalization) gem which is shipped with Ruby on Rails (starting from Rails 2.2) provides an easy-to-use and extensible framework for translating your application to a single...

about the :path\_prefix on routes.rb. But it just didn’t worked…  
Here is my routes.rb:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|  
map.resources :mannequins, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/:locale’  
map.resources :recipes, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/:locale’

# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created →

highest priority.

# Sample of regular route:

# map.connect ‘products/:id’, :controller =\> ‘catalog’, :action =\>

‘view’

# Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller

and :action

# Sample of named route:

# map.purchase ‘products/:id/purchase’, :controller =\>

‘catalog’, :action =\> ‘purchase’

# This route can be invoked with purchase\_url(:id =\> product.id)

# Sample resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions

automatically):

# map.resources :products

# Sample resource route with options:

# map.resources :products, :member =\> { :short =\> :get, :toggle

=\> :post }, :collection =\> { :sold =\> :get }

# Sample resource route with sub-resources:

# map.resources :products, :has\_many =\>

[:comments, :sales], :has\_one =\> :seller

# Sample resource route with more complex sub-resources

# map.resources :products do |products|

# products.resources :comments

# products.resources :sales, :collection =\> { :recent =\> :get }

# end

# Sample resource route within a namespace:

# map.namespace :admin do |admin|

# # Directs /admin/products/\* to Admin::ProductsController (app/

controllers/admin/products\_controller.rb)

# admin.resources :products

# end

# You can have the root of your site routed with map.root – just

remember to delete public/index.html.  
map.root :controller =\> “recipes”, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/:locale’

# See how all your routes lay out with “rake routes”

# Install the default routes as the lowest priority.

# Note: These default routes make all actions in every controller

accessible via GET requests. You should

# consider removing or commenting them out if you’re using named

routes and resources.  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’  
end

but when I try to access [http://localhost:3000/fr/recipes](http://localhost:3000/fr/recipes) I get

ActionController::RoutingError in Recipes#index  
Showing app/views/recipes/index.html.erb where line #15 raised:  
recipe\_url failed to generate from {:locale=\>#\<Recipe id: 2, ti…

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Can you try this:

\<%= link\_to “Show” recipe\_path(@recipe) %\>

In the conntroller show you must pass a variable named @recipe with the  
object

rake routes

Sorry are you iterating in a variable named @recipes?

In this case, the link must be this:

\<% @recipes.each do |recipe| %\>  
\<%= link\_to “Show” recipe\_path(recipe) %\>  
\<% end %\>

Yeah, I am iterating… Here’s the code:

\<% @recipes.each do |recipe| %\>

 \<%=h recipe.title %\> \<%=h recipe.author %\> \<%=h recipe.description %\> \<%= link\_to 'Show', recipe\_path(recipe) %\> \<%= link\_to 'Edit', edit\_recipe\_path(recipe) %\> \<%= link\_to 'Destroy', recipe, :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?', :method =\> :delete %\> \<% end %\>

But I got the same error…

I have that on application\_controller.rb, and when I ran ‘rake routes’,

It worked =]

I changed

<td><%=h recipe.description %></td>

<td><%= link_to 'Show', *recipe_url(recipe)* %></td>

\<% end %\>

Now I should make the same kind of modifications on the other views…

In your position i’ll try this:

This solution has currently one rather big _downside_. Due to the

It worked. Now I found another problem… the “Destroy” link doesn’t  
work.  
It doesn’t even prompt anymore, it just refreshes the index page and all  
the  
recipes are still there…  
The link is being generated by this:

_\<%= link\_to ‘Destroy’, :id =\> recipe, :confirm =\> ‘Are you sure?’,  
:method =\> :delete %\>_

The solution of :id =\> whatever dosn’t the Rails Way IMHO. You should  
try to  
use the rails helpers (link\_to, form\_for,…) in the correct way:

\<%= link\_to “Show”, recipe %\>

To solve your problems with routes i suggess you to use some of the  
solutions i recomend you in the other mail.

If you prefer my “bad” solutions to make the destroy link work, try  
this:

\<%= link\_to ‘Destroy’, recipe\_path(:id =\> recipe) , :confirm =\> ‘Are you  
sure?’, :method =\> :delete\* \*%\>

It worked too…  
Now I am having the same error on these lines:

_\<% form\_for(@recipe) do |f| %\>_  
\<%= f.error\_messages %\>
