Symfony 2 - Form collection - Label translation

I'm trying to translate a label in my twig. I have a basic contact form with firstname, lastname, phone, email. I have a collection called "BookContact" in which I'm able to add many contacts. The user can generate a new contact form by clicking the "add contact" button (jQuery event using prototype as explained here : http://symfony.com/fr/doc/current/cookbook/form/form_collections.html, I'm not working with taks and tafgs but with BookContact and Contact ).

When I display my collection in the twig: 

{% for contact in form_book_contact.contacts %}
Contact n° {{ num_contact }}
    <div class="row" id="bookcontacts" data-prototype="{{ form_widget(form_book_contact.contacts.vars.prototype)|e }}">
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
               {{ form_widget(contact.firstname) }}
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
               {{ form_widget(contact.lastname) }}
            </div>
          ....
 {% endfor %}

The inputs look like: 

 <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="0.lastname" name="book_contact[contacts][0][lastname]" id="book_contact_contacts_0_lastname">

And my translation file has: 

 book_contact:
     firstname:            "Prénom"
     lastname:             "Nom"
.....

In this case, the translation doesn't work (which is normal because the name of the input is not "firstname" but "0.firsname". The problem is that I cannot handle the number of the generation of contact forms. When the user clicks the "add contact" button, the inputs look like: "1.firstname" etc...

How can I handle this kind of translation? How can I manage this number changing in my translation file ?

Thanks for you help.

As labels are already translated in the default form layout, you should only have to set it in your form type.

So if you have a form type:

class BookContactType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('firstname')
            ->add('lastname')
        ;
    }
}

Then simply use the form_label(form.firstName) in your template and translate them into messages.fr.yml:

Firstname: "Prénom" # Do not forget the first uppercased character
Lastname:  "Nom"

Or if you prefer using your translation prefix:

class BookContactType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('firstname', null, [
                'label' => 'book_contact.firstname',
            ])
            ->add('lastname', null, [
                'label' => 'book_contact.lastname',
             ])
        ;
    }
}

And use the following messages.fr.yml:

book_contact:
    firstname:            "Prénom"
    lastname:             "Nom"
