I18n in rails 3.2: scoping or lazy lookup for translations within controllers

I try to retrieve some translations in my controllers but the scope will be ignored. For example:

In UsersController in create action

t(".notice")

will look for 'notice' at the very first level (i.e. en -> notice) an not at en -> users -> create -> notice. How can I "activate" the scope so that I don't have to enter 

t("users.create.notice")

everytime.

And why scoping of lazy lookup is activated for views by default but not for controllers?

Using rails 3.2

Unfortunately, you're out of luck unless you upgrade to Rails 4.

The Rails i18n guide section 3.2.13 on "lazy" lookups says:

Rails implements a convenient way to look up the locale inside views

(Emphasis theirs; lazy lookup functionality is restricted only to views in Rails 3.2)

This is the commit to Rails 4 that brought "lazy" lookups into controllers as well.

The latest Rails i18n guide as of this writing states that lazy lookups are view-only in Rails 4, but it is not correct anymore as you would be able to use t(".notice") in your UsersController#create action and get back the expected value.
