I have a table with columns that contain a string. For simplicity let's say the possible values are 'Apple', 'Pear', 'Banana', stored in the DB in English.

For my different locales I wish to translate this string using i18n.

My guess was to add to my nl.yml

"Apple": "Appel"
"Pear": "Peer"
"Banana": "Banaan"

And then add to my view

<%= t(@fruit.name) %>

But this does not quite work as expected. Any suggestions?

It seems, this is the correct way. I must have made a typo somewhere... – Matthias Sep 21 '16 at 08:44
