✏️ Define Custom Inflections Across Locales​

When working with domain-specific terms, tweak Rails’ inflector to handle irregular plurals globally. Update config/initializers/inflections.rb and group locale-based rules to avoid inconsistent naming.

# config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(:en) do |inflect|
  inflect.irregular 'radius', 'radii'
  inflect.uncountable %w( metadata )
end

I18n.available_locales.each do |locale|
  ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(locale) do |inflect|
    inflect.acronym 'API'
  end
end

This ensures model_name.pluralize and path helpers remain consistent even under Turkish or German locales.
