I wrote a validates_word_count plugin. I would like to store the error messages in a YAML file so they can be easily translated.

Full source:
https://github.com/paulschreiber/validates_word_count/

My plugin's file layout looks like this:
validates_word_count/
  init.rb
  lib/
    validates_word_count.rb
    locale/
      en.yml

My YAML file looks like this:
en:
  validates_word_count:
    errors:
      messages:
        too_few_words: "has too few words (minimum is %d words)"
        too_many_words: "has too many words (maximum is %d words)"

However, if I call I18n.translate('validates_word_count.errors.messages.too_few_words'), I get this error:
translation missing: en, validates_word_count, errors, messages, too_few_words

How can I set up my plugin / locale so I18n.translate() works?
