How to translate strings by format on Ruby on Rails?

I'm getting some string into my database from an external API and I want to translate them before showing users. I don't want to translate each object by globalize3 because content that I want to translate has some format.

For example I need to change all information values with date:

"Game postponed from 22.08.2013" -> date changes but string is same.

I tried using string as key and it works if I dont have variable:

config/locale/tr.yml file

tr:

Hello World: "Merhaba Dunya"

rails console

I18n.t("Hello World")

=> "Merhaba Dunya"

How can i use my string with variable as key and get translated one?

I want to define this:

tr:

"Game postponed from %{date}" => "Mac %{date} tarihinden ertelendi"

and I want to use it by:

I18n.t("Game postponed from 22.08.2013")

=> "Mac 22.08.2013 tarihinden ertelendi"

Using I18n may not be best solution to my case but I don't know how can I solve this.

Here is a working version with an example:

> I18n.transliterate("arrêter".downcase.strip)
=> "arreter"

In your config/locale/tr.yml

'Game postponed from': 'Game postponed from %{date}'

Console:

I18n.t 'Game postponed from', :date => some_date
