Following Michael Koziarski's advice, I created this patch. First time I do this, so I hope I did everything right.
Patch contains very small changes, so I hope it can get committed.
Basically, what this patch adds is the ability to change default action paths for "new" and "edit", in an environment or directly in the route definition (because on some languages, coherent action names would depend on the resource name):
config.action_controller.resources_path_names = { :new => 'nuevo', :edit => 'editar' }
In the route definition:
map.resource :schools, :as => 'escuelas', :path_names => { :new => 'nueva' }
You could argue action names refer to a "record" (so it wouldn't be gender dependent) as opposed to the resource name. I would argue it would look weird in a URL, like seeing the words "her penis".
