How to translate model names in rails for error messages in locale yml file?

Question

I want to translate the name of the model in the rails auto-generated error messages.

I get the following view error in my rails application when I try to create a new account for a user.

AccountSmall is not valid

This is correct, because the name for a new account should be present.

How can I now translate the AccountSmall name via my yml locale?

I tried this with no luck:

de:
  # ...
  activerecord:
    models:
      AccountSmall: "Konto"

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Instead of AccountSmall use account_small as the key in your locale like so:

de:
  activerecord:
    models:
      account_small: "Konto"
