i18n fallback in attributes

How to use a fallback for very often used attr_names like title and created_at?

How it usually works:

activerecord.attributes.[model_name].attr_name

I want todo something like that:

activerecord.attributes.defaults.attr_name

There are so many examples of how to do it for the error massages, but none for the plain attributes :( http://guides.rubyonrails.org/v2.3.8/i18n.html#translations-for-active-record-models

Here's the file containing the method which handles the translations (human_attribute_name). I think seeing this you can just do in your lang.yml for instance :

attributes:
  username: "Nickname"

instead of :

attributes:
  user:
    username: "Nickname"

And it should work for all models !
