I have a Rails 2.2.2 app which uses I18n v0.6.0.
I have a config/locales/da.yml file with this content:
---
da:
date:
abbr_day_names:
- søn
- man
- tir
- ons
- tor
- fre
- lør
abbr_month_names:
-
- jan
- feb
- mar
- apr
- maj
- jun
- jul
- aug
- sep
- okt
- nov
- dec
day_names:
- søndag
- mandag
- tirsdag
- onsdag
- torsdag
- fredag
- lørdag
formats:
default: "%d.%m.%Y"
long: "%e. %B %Y"
short: "%e. %b %Y"
month_names:
-
- januar
- februar
- marts
- april
- maj
- juni
- juli
- august
- september
- oktober
- november
- december
So, I'm then going into the console and doing
I18n.locale = "da"
=> "da"
60.days.ago.strftime("%a %A %d %b %B %Y")
=> "Fri Friday 21 Oct October 2016"
I'd expect to get
=> "Fre Fredag 21 Okt Oktober 2016"
It does look like I18n knows about the translation, as I can do this:
I18n.translate("date.day_names")
=> ["søndag", "mandag", "tirsdag", "onsdag", "torsdag", "fredag", "lørdag"]
But, it's just not working in strftime.
Am I misunderstanding something?
Have a look at this post.
