Application Theory and Design: Shared locale file for view

Hello!
Thank you for a great framework.

I want to make the locale file that can be shared.
How do you make it?

If understand your question right, this should lead you in the right way.

In a view we have the text_helper for that:
```
<?php echo $text_helper->translate(string,array_of_variables_to_bind,scope); ?>

<?php echo $text_helper->translate(
                        'This is %what',
                        array('%what'=>'super'),
                        'global_shared'
); ?>
```
This will create the folder "global_shared" under app/locales

Unfortunately you can't use Sintags for this, right now.

the translate has an alias: t().

if you don't define a scope, it usually guesses one (the controller name or the model name).

I was wrong. I first tried
```
<%= translate 'Take me %where', :where=>"home", "scope" %>
```
which leads to translate('Take me %where',array('where'=>'home','scope')), which is wrong, because 'scope' should be our third argument.

So we have to be more specific.
```
<%= translate 'Take me %where', {"%where"=>"home"}, "scope" %>
```
is correct and works as expected.

That explains it.

Thanks, Kaste.
