...g for the default locale
There is currently no mention of I18n in the Grape readme.
I found myself in the following situation:
config.i18n.fallbacks = [:en]set in application.rbAs a result, for all validation errors, the error messages were simply blank.
We could just tell people to set a fallback locale or include translations, but I don't think the blank messages are user friendly - at least I found this very difficult to debug for such a simple issue. This pull request reflects my opinion that Grape should fallback to the English messages (provided in the en.yml that ships with Grape) in situations where the messages would otherwise be blank.
Of course if people explicitly want blank error messages...this pull request will be problematic for them. This situation seems unlikely to me. At the very least, documentation will help.
