Hi,

I’ve been looking around a fair bit on Google, but haven’t been able  
to answer my own question. I have a form that includes an association  
that uses nested\_attributes. When using the label method that uses  
something like :feature\_attributes – where should one be putting the  
feature model attribute translations. I’ve tried putting them in the  
standard place for models (e.g.  
activerecord.attributes.feature.published\_at) and I’ve tried nesting  
them under the model attributes that it’s associated with. Can anybody  
shed some light on this? I am looking at what will be Rails 2.3.6.

Thanks,  
Cedric

Try to do that in the en.yml file

en:  
activerecord:  
attributes:  
feature:  
your\_first\_attribute: “Your first attribute”
