How to translate attribute names?

I’m trying to translate error messages for a Japanese site. I’ve created a custom message file in my protected folder and all is fine.

But I’m now getting a problem. The {attribute} name isn’t getting translated.

How do I go about translating the attribute names?

ref:)

{attribute} is too long (maximum is {max} characters).

Thanks,

Attribute name?

Arent you being able to translate them in your model’s attribute labels function?

public function attributeLabels()

{


	return array(


		'id' => 'ID',


		'attributenamehere' => Yii::t(.... translation keys here,


		


	);


}

PS: Dont have a clue about that japanese up there… :)

Doh! :^) That’s embarrassing. I totally thought I did that, but I’d only translated the first one.

Sorry about that. Thanks for the help, though.

Yeah, esp because I really have three sites in one. I have an English site that I built first. Then, I just copied the entire site into a /jp folder off of the main one, since it was quick and it wasn’t immediately clear as to how to accommodate different language versions in the same site. I first tried to link the /jp site to the upper site’s models/controllers/etc in the bootstrap, but that didn’t seem to work. So, i just made it a “JP” site and put in my own custom messages (along with all of the rest from “ja”).

Then, I have a third site in the /admin folder for back-end administration of the data.
