l(object, **options)

Alias for: localize

localize(object, **options)

Delegates to I18n.localize.

Also aliased as: l

# File actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/translation.rb, line 29
def localize(object, **options)
  I18n.localize(object, **options)
end

t(key, **options)

Alias for: translate

translate(key, **options)

Delegates to I18n.translate.

When the given key starts with a period, it will be scoped by the current controller and action. So if you call translate(".foo") from PeopleController#index, it will convert the call to I18n.translate("people.index.foo"). This makes it less repetitive to translate many keys within the same controller / action and gives you a simple framework for scoping them consistently.
