add a new format to locales

hello list,

i try to add a new format to my locales file de.yml i looks like that:

de:   number:     square_meter:       format:         unit: 'm²'         format: "%n %u"         precision: 2         separator: ','         delimiter: '.'

after that i've copied the number_to_currency method to the application_controller.rb to get maximum comfort :slight_smile: but i get the default view of numbers, so it doesnt find my new yml section

  def number_to_square_meter(number, options = {})     options.symbolize_keys!

    defaults = I18n.translate('number.format''number.format', :locale => options[:locale], :raise => true) rescue {}     currency = I18n.translate('number.square_meter.format''number.square_meter.format', :locale => options[:locale], :raise => true) rescue {}     defaults = defaults.merge(currency)

    precision = options[:precision] || defaults[:precision]     unit = options[:unit] || defaults[:unit]     separator = options[:separator] || defaults[:separator]     delimiter = options[:delimiter] || defaults[:delimiter]     format = options[:format] || defaults[:format]     separator = '' if precision == 0

    begin      format.gsub(/%n/, number_with_precision(number,        :precision => precision,        :delimiter => delimiter,        :separator => separator)      ).gsub(/%u/, unit)     rescue      number     end   end

do you have any idea how can i solve that?

thanks

best regards
