Ruby on Rails localization

I have to localize a web site with using the yml files. But I'm having problems with the following:

<tr>
    <td><%= link_to author.name, :action => 'show', :id => author %></td>
    <td><%= link_to 'Edit', :action => 'edit', :id => author %></td>
    <td>
        <%= button_to t(:delete), {:action => 'destroy', :id => author},
        {:method => :delete,
        :confirm => "Are you sure you want to delete author #{author.name}?"} %>
        :confirm => t(:sure_delete_author, :authorname=>#{author.name}) } %>
    </td>
</tr>

t(:delete) works as it should, but the confirm doesn't. Left the original and the not working one.

The problem is that you are trying to use string interpolation when there is no string (which seems to be a simple copy-and-paste problem)

Instead of 

:authorname => #{author.name}

try one of these:

:authorname => "#{author.name}"
:authorname => author.name

The last one of course is to be preferred :)

PS: In my personal experience using the new Ruby 1.9 hash syntax removes a lot of visual clutter and makes spotting problems like this a lot easier.
