Hi,

My application has been working very good befor I use gettext.

After I install the gettext gem and run ‘rake updatepo’, the  
‘error\_messages\_for’ helper can’t works.

When rails needs to show some database fields errors, I got the  
following error messages:

========================  
NoMethodError in Orders#create

Showing app/views/orders/\_form.rhtml where line #1 raised:

undefined method `human\_attribute\_table\_name\_for\_error’ for  
ActiveRecord::Base:Class

Extracted source (around line #1):

1: \<%= error\_messages\_for ‘order’ %\>  
2:  
3:   
4:

Trace of template inclusion: /app/views/orders/new.rhtml

RAILS\_ROOT: /var/www/qixiao/public/…/config/…

==============================

need you help .

Thank you.
