Asp Forum - No localized strings in Date.strftime

3/26/2005 12:13:00 PM

Hello,

is it a bug or a feature that Date strings are not localized when using
ruby-locale?

Example:

>> a = Time.new
=> Wed Mar 23 23:00:08 CET 2005

>> require 'date'
=> true
>> b = Date.today
=> #<Date: 4906905/2,0,2299161>

>> require "locale"
=> true
>> Locale.set(Locale::ALL, 'de_DE')
=> "de_DE"

>> a.strftime('%B %y')
=> "März 05"

>> b.strftime('%B %y')
=> "March 05"

thanks,
Florian

Not "chicken". PLEASE don't say "chicken".

(if we didn't have chicken, no one would be able to talk about
food).

Think "little black erasers in garlic butter" :)

Well, they really have the texture, not the taste. I used to love those
little suckers - drenched in garlic butter and sitting in a little mushroom
cap (or better yet, a pastry puff). Delicious! :)

Yummy stuff! The first time I had octopus was when my parents took us to
Greece when I was about 11 (which also started my live-long passion for
baklava). I thought it was great, though a bit chewy. The last time I had
it was when I briefly dated this Greek guy who took me to a great Greek
restaurant in Astoria Queens, NY :)

What makes you think that this is true, and how can you prove the
statement.
