Reading I18n file content in rails controller

Rails
1

Hi,

Maybe this is a beginner’s question. Can someone please tell me how can
I
reference a en.yml entry in my rails controller? I am able to
reference
it in rails view file as below.

config/locales/en.yml

read_text: “I want to display this text.”

app/views/dashboard/index.html.erb

<%=t :read_text%>

I want to access *read_text: *in
app/controllers/dashboard_controller.rb

Thanks.

Regards,
Ankur

One generally uses I18n to do that though there are other options.
I18n.t(‘read_text’). Of course it is generally recommended to do that
kind of stuff in your views and have the controllers control.

As Norm indicated, the question is why would you want to do this?
Normally that would be done in a view.
