Translating active record errors with I18n on Rails 3.2.6 when using activescaffod

Question

I am trying to use I18n with activescaffold, which is working fine in terms of translating errors for models.

But I would like to translate these:

"1 error prohibited this {model} from being saved"
"There were problems with the following fields:"

My yml file looks like

sk:
 errors:
  template:
    header:
      one:   "1 error prohibited this %{model} from being saved"
      other: "%{count} errors prohibited this %{model} from being saved"
    body:    "There were problems with the following fields:"

Result in activescaffold form is:

errors.template.header
errors.template.body

Not much luck with that. I know that 'error_messages_for' have been depreciated, and I also found that I should update my view...but with activescaffold, I am not using any views so I don't know what to update to have above lines translated. I installed dynamic_form gem, but above does not work either.

I found this post: rails3 I18n: can't override..., but as I said, I am not using any views so not sure how to override above.

Any tips much appreciated.

Solution was to look into activescaffold gem directory to see how default en.yml looks like.

From there it is obvious that error messages should be represented as follows:

en:
  active_scaffold:
    add: 'Add'
    add_existing: 'Add Existing'
    add_existing_model: 'Add Existing %{model}'
    errors:
      template:
        header:
          one:    "1 error prohibited this %{model} from being saved."
          other:  "%{count} errors prohibited this %{model} from being saved"
        body: "There were problems with the following fields:"
