In Ember, the default is for the name of your model corresponds to a REST route of the same name. So what happens when you’re using hyphens in the URL? You can’t name your model to match, but the solution is quite simple, although it did take me a lot of searching before finding it.

Style over substance may be a common phrase but frequently CVs possess neither. Layout Inconsistencies make CVs difficult to scan read. Sure, it’s not going to be a work of art (unless you’re a designer of some sort, in which case it should be: show off your talents) but it should be set out neatly and consistently.

Google Translate has the following URL format: http://translate.google.com/#de|en|%s Where “de” is the language you’re translating from, “en” is the language you’re translating to, and “%s” represents the string to translate. This makes it very easy to create Firefox Quicksearches for various translations. You can find the short code for the language you want by changing the selected languages below the text area. When you select a different language and click off the drop down box the URL will update.
