internationalization - Troubleshoot i18n YAML in Rails the Easy Way -

i waste tons of time trying construct the proper yaml translating text , labels in rails.

is there easy way pinpoint path should use in yaml provide translation?

as example, using nested simple_form form erb:

<%= f.input :birth_date, as:'string' %> 

the label birth date , assuming coming model attribute.

when debug line , type f.object_name

=> "user_wizard[children_attributes]  

here's yaml

en-us:   simple_form:     labels:       user_wizard:         children_attributes:           birth_date: "name date or expected date" 

is there sure-fire way log, print, probe, watch, render or query give (or one) exact path need in situation? not simple_form or model attribute error messages, buttons, mailers, etc.

we have had tons of issues i18n key management well, that's why have decided go down different road , display whole key name, possibility edit in place well. feel solves problem of finding correct key name , filling it. check out our solution, phraseapp , our in-context editor.

to summarize: best thing might expose key name through code. have built our own solution, can little monkey patch i18n well.
