RoR & YML

Rails
1

In
ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-2.3.5\lib\action_view\locale\en.yml
I see

activerecord:
errors:
template:
header:
one: “1 error prohibited this {{model}} from being saved”
other: “{{count}} errors prohibited this {{model}} from being
saved”
# The variable :count is also available

Where does “model” come from? Where can I find documentation about how
RoR (Ruby?) interacts with *.yml files.

I think you’re asking the wrong question. The interpolation of
{{model}} has nothing to do with Ruby’s handling of YAML, but is rather
part of Rails’ I18N routines. Check their docs for more.

And consider fast_gettext for I18N instead. It’s a lot nicer than
Rails’ built-in system.
