How can I change member action names on routes?

I have some controllers with member/collection actions. I want to change the name of those actions on the routes, so I can translate the action "/search" to German, for example. How can I do it? I will appreciate any help.

map.resource :search, :controller => "search_controller"

map.suche "suche", :controller => "search_controller", :action => "new"

Is that what you're looking for?

Sorry - there was a typo in my first example: :controller => "search" - not :controller => "search_controller"

using map.search "search", :controller => "search", :action => "new" map.suche "suche", :controller => "search", :action => "new"

should mean that both /suchen and /search route to the new search action

I think you may have to explicitly state the relative path in your links though, like: <%= link_to "suchen", "/suchen" %> and <%= link_to "search", "/search" %>

or if you're using locales: <%= link_to t('search.name'), "/#{t 'search.name'}" %>

hope that helps?
