I18n ActiveModel Subclass Lookup

#4607

Given the following Class definitions:

class Conversation
  class Message
    include ActiveModel::Validations
    attr_accessor :quantity
    validates :quantity, :presence => true
  end
end

There is no way to reference the error messages for the Message class. For example the correct lookup for the class Conversation would be:

activemodel:
  errors:
    models:
      conversation:
        attributes:
          quantity:
            blank: "Some custom message"

But what is it for the Message class? I tried:

activemodel:
  errors:
    models:
      conversation:
        message:
          attributes:
            quantity:
              blank: "Some custom message"

activemodel:
  errors:
    models:
      message:
        attributes:
          quantity:
            blank: "Some custom message"

activemodel:
  errors:
    models:
      conversation::message:
        attributes:
          quantity:
            blank: "Some custom message"

None of them work.

If this is a bug then I would vote for the following to be the correct lookup:

activemodel:
  errors:
    models:
      conversation:
        message:
          attributes:
            quantity:
              blank: "Some custom message"

    This is not a bug. You can provide translation with following path:

    LANG:
      activemodel:
        errors:
          models:
            conversation/message:
              attributes:
                quantity:
                  blank: "Field is blank"

    It is not a bug, but I do think that the following is more appropriate though:

    activemodel:
      errors:
        models:
          conversation:
            message:
              attributes:
                quantity:
                  blank: "Some custom message"
    

    This makes it dryer to have models under a specific namespace. Useful for engines too I think.

    I can make a patch for it if others find this useful too.
