|Newbie] Change default locale I18n file devise

okkezSS · November 3, 2010, 7:36pm

Hello!

This is probably something easy. I’ve looked at some documentation but
I didn’t find any good resources on how to change to default locale
file with Devise authentication plugin. Should I do it in my
application controller or should I change something in Devise? And how
should I do it.

Thanks

Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood you. But do you mean something like this?

 config.i18n.default_locale = :de

This is in application.rb (rails3) and has nothing specific to do with
Devise itself.

Sorry

I think I needed a second thought to understand your question.

You want to change the content of the devise-locale-files?

Get the files you need, put them into config/locales and change them,
however you need them.

Oh sorry, me again. g There was a third thought.

Do you want to change something in views? Last time I used Devise, text
in views was hard coded. (I think

github.com

heartcombo/devise/blob/main/app/views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb

<h2>Edit <%= resource_name.to_s.humanize %></h2>

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(resource_name), html: { method: :put }) do |f| %>
  <%= render "devise/shared/error_messages", resource: resource %>

  <div class="field">
    <p><%= f.label :email %></p>
    <p><%= f.email_field :email, autofocus: true, autocomplete: "email" %></p>
  </div>

  <% if devise_mapping.confirmable? && resource.pending_reconfirmation? %>
    <div>Currently waiting confirmation for: <%= resource.unconfirmed_email %></div>
  <% end %>

  <div class="field">
    <p><%= f.label :password %> <i>(leave blank if you don't want to change it)</i></p>
    <p><%= f.password_field :password, autocomplete: "new-password" %></p>
    <% if @minimum_password_length %>
      <p><em><%= @minimum_password_length %> characters minimum</em></p>
    <% end %>

This file has been truncated. show original

shows, it’s still the same.)

rails generate devise:views

Then you can edit the views in app/views/devise
