I came accross an opensource code in views, with a 't()' tag similar to html escape sequence, i.e h().
<%= f.label :password, t(:password, :scope => "activerecord.attributes.user") -%>
I just want to know what t() means.. Anyone?

t(keys, options = {})
Alias for translate
translate(keys, options = {})
Delegates to I18n#translate but also performs two additional functions. First, it‘ll catch MissingTranslationData exceptions and turn them into inline spans that contains the missing key, such that you can see in a view what is missing where.
Second, it‘ll scope the key by the current partial if the key starts with a period. So if you call translate(".foo") from the people/index.html.erb template, you‘ll actually be calling I18n.translate("people.index.foo"). This makes it less repetitive to translate many keys within the same partials and gives you a simple framework for scoping them consistently. If you don‘t prepend the key with a period, nothing is converted. This method is also aliased as t
