    Hey again!

    Here's the problem right now. How to localize the dates (created_at, updated_at) found in tables? I've tried the following in one of my views:

    <p><%= t('%name wrote this on %date', {'%name' => questbook_entry.name, '%date' => questbook_entry.created_at}) %></p>

    -jyrki

    try with this

    $date_helper->locale_date($questbook_entry->created_at)

    hi,
    i am trying to get a localized date in the form "n Weekday", for example, 31 Wednesday (31 Miércoles). Anybody knows how to achieve this?

    i have done this:

    $timestamp = Ak::getTimestamp($iso_date);
    $format = Ak::locale('j D');
    return Ak::getDate($timestamp, $format);

    but i got an error.......

    delia, I think you're missusing Ak::locale('j D');

    Ak::locale looks for an index on the $locale array in your config/locales/LOCALE.php files

    As an example for i18n a date and months, you can do something like:

    On your locale file

    $locale['full_text_date'] = "%s %d of %s, year %d";
$locale['days'] = "Sunday,Monday,Tuesday....";
$locale['months'] = "January,February.....";

    In a helper

    function full_text_date(){
    $days = Ak::toArray(Ak::locale('days'));
    $months = Ak::toArray(Ak::locale('months'));
    return sprintf($locale['full_text_date'], $days[date('w')], date('j'), $months[date('n')+1], date('Y'));
}

    Hope it helps

    thanks Bermi. it helps

    (y perdona por las preguntas estúpidas - se me nota a la legua que estoy empezando. Intento buscar información antes de preguntar, pero todavía hay muy poca documentación sobre el framework me parece)

    Hi Guys,

    Im trying to get localized dates and wondered what was the locales/localize/date/ directory for ?

    I have defined the following in config/locales/fr.php :

    $locale['long_date_format'] = 'l, d F Y';

    Then in a helper, I'm calling :

    Ak::getDate(Ak::getTimeStamp(), Ak::locale('long_date_format'))

    This gives "Thursday, 15 January 2009", so the format is ok but not the language.

    I have seen that there is translation for dates in app/locales/localize/date/en.php. So I made fr.php with translation for dates, and then made this in my helper

    Ak::t(Ak::getDate(Ak::getTimeStamp(), Ak::locale('long_date_format')), array(), 'localize/date')

    but the output is still the same.

    Any way to get it running fine ? My aim is to get "Jeudi, 15 Janvier 2009"

    Thanks
