Changing submit button text value per form

Question

I'm rendering a form on a few different pages, such as: edit, new, show . Now on the submit button it says: "update post" and "create post" . I know that there is a way to add custom text to the buttons <%= f.submit "Text" %> . But because i'm rendering the form it shows that value on each of the pages. So i'm wondering if there is a way where i can add the custom text value per page, without having to copy the whole form itself.

You can use the Rails built-i I18n (internationalization) module :

# config/locales/en.yml
en:
  helpers:
    submit:
      post:
        create: "Toss me bottle to the sea!"
        update: "Arg! Now she be a spellin' straight."

You need to remove the text from submit button in order for it to be translated:

<%= f.submit %>
