How to set humanized name of padrino module?

Question

How are you. I have just installed padrino framework admin panel. And it shows several tabs in admin module. I want to rename the labels. but how to do it? This is view side code

<%= link_to project_module.human_name, url(project_module.path) %>

Here I can't set human_name of project_module. And this is module definition in application.rb

access_control.roles_for :admin do |role|
      role.project_module :accounts, '/accounts'
      role.project_module :venues, '/venues'
      role.project_module :shows, '/shows'
end

Now tabs labels are Accounts, Venues, Shows. how to set them as Users, MyVenues, MyShows? Thanks

Just seemed to hit this issue tonight as well. It seems that this is a slight bug that is in the core Padrino framework.

The standard navigation logic out of the box will never produce a proper localized text. It renders the output of function .humanize

https://github.com/padrino/padrino-framework/blob/8bd3796d45eae5e3f7dc52316c8c25c44563f8cd/padrino-admin/lib/padrino-admin/access_control.rb#L176

At best, the humanize function will upcase your text. See https://apidock.com/rails/String/humanize

You can replace the human_name reference with the I18n.t() localizable function:

  %ul.nav.navbar-nav.pull-left
        - project_modules.each do |project_module|
          %li{:class => "navbar-module #{('active' if request.path_info =~ /^#{project_module.path}/)}"}
            =link_to I18n.t(project_module.name), url(project_module.path)

See http://padrinorb.com/guides/features/localization/ for reference.

One note, the navigation is not model aware, so your translated text will need to be right under the locale reference in the yml file.

Ex.

en:
  accounts: Users
  venues: MyVenue
  shows: MyShows

This should do the trick. Let me know if you have any questions.
