Enable i18n in will_paginate Plugin

Rails Add comments

The current will_paginate plugin doesn’t support localization. Adding the following code into the application_helper will enable i18n for will_paginate.


include WillPaginate::ViewHelpers

def will_paginate_with_i18n(collection, options = {})
will_paginate_without_i18n(collection, options.merge(:previous_label => I18n.t(:previous), :next_label => I18n.t(:next)))
end

alias_method_chain :will_paginate, :i18n

And add ‘next’ and ‘previous’ attribute in the locales file.

for example zh.yml under RAILS_ROOT/config/locales

zh:
previous: '前一页'
next: '下一页'

    Very nice!

    I would add a default option to I18n.translate in order to keep backward compatibility:

    will_paginate_without_i18n(collection, options.merge(:previous_label => I18n.t(’previous’, :default=>’Previous’), :next_label => I18n.t(’next’, :default => ‘Next’)))

    The key :previous_label doesn’t work for me (using the will_paginate gem instead of the plugin). Had to change it to :prev_label.

    Works for me, and I am using the gem.

    config.gem ‘mislav-will_paginate’, :version => ‘~> 2.3.8′, :lib => ‘will_paginate’, :source => ‘http://gems.github.com’

    Thanks

    Thanks Lawrence, I implemented this successfully for iLearnWords (http://www.ilearnwords.com/), an audio-based language learning site!

    Thanks! This works fine!
    For those who wants to keep this snippet out of his helpers, can add this code to lib/will_paginate_localization:

    require ‘will_paginate’

    module WillPaginateLocalization
    module ViewHelpers
    include WillPaginate::ViewHelpers

    def will_paginate_with_i18n(collection, options = {})
    will_paginate_without_i18n(collection, options.merge(:previous_label => I18n.t(’global.pagination.previous’),
    :next_label => I18n.t(’global.pagination.next’)))
    end

    alias_method_chain :will_paginate, :i18n
    end
    end

    ActionView::Base.send(:include, WillPaginateLocalization::ViewHelpers)

    And then require this file in initialization file:
    require ‘will_paginate_localization’

    With webrick your code works as expected, in the same environment with passenger I get the following error: uninitialized constant WillPaginate::ViewHelpers
