Translating mongoid to german

Question

I got a problem to translate the default validation messages in mongoid.
I create a /config/initializers/mongoid.rb with

• Mongoid.add_language("de")

http://mongoid.org/docs/installation/languages.html

But every call on a validated field i got translation errors:

• translation missing: de.mongoid.errors.models.comment.attributes.body.too_short
• translation missing: de.mongoid.errors.models.user.attributes.username.blank

I have

• Ruy on Rails 3.2
• Ruby 1.9.3
• mongoid 2.4.7

If you check on Mongoid source, the de.yml locale file you can see this two key are not translate :

https://github.com/mongoid/mongoid/blob/2.4.0-stable/lib/config/locales/de.yml

You can do some pull_request on Mongoid 2.4.0-stable branch to add it.
