How to use rails-i18n with HAML

Question

I went through http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html and set up my en.yml file:

en:
  test:
    welcome: Welcome!!!
  registration:
    signup: Sign up for an invite!!

However, in my new.html.haml file, How do I reference signup?

The tutorial only shows how to do so using ERB, not HAML. I tried this and it didn't work:

%h2 <%=t :registration.signup %>

Any ideas?

You should probably read the HAML reference to understand how HAML works. To add code to generate content for a tag, you use =, as in:

%h2= t('registration.signup')

app/views/registration/index.html.haml

%h2
  =t('.signup')

en.yml:

en:
  registration:
    index:
      signup: Sign up for an invite!!

NB:

Rails path to the view must match YAML path to the symbol
There is a dot before .signup. Read more about lazy lookups

It worked once I did this:

change en.yml

  registration:
    signup: "Sign up for an invite to join CorkLabs!!!"

in .haml file

%h2= t 'registration.signup'

You should string escape all your YAML – Jason Noble Jun 08 '12 at 14:04

Other comments here relay how you can do this. For what it's worth though, you can also check out haml-i18n-extractor. It's a tool that helps with the string interpolation you need to extract from the templates automatically instead of needing to do things by hand. Should save you a bunch of time.
