    The origin of this format start Ruby. The i18n-js format is a direct export of translations defined by Ruby on Rails. To export the translations, a Ruby gem can be used, that's completely disconnected from Rails and that can be used for the solely purpose of exporting the translations, even if your project is written in a different language. For JavaScript there's a companion JavaScript package. It comes bundled with all base translations made available by rails-i18n. Base translations allow formatting date, numbers, and sentence connectors, among other things.

  • Internationalization with Rails and i18n-js
    1 project | dev.to | 6 Oct 2020
    I was working on an app built with React on Rails. Most of the pages were written in React, but some pages were written in and rendered from the Rails views. This meant that I needed to figure out a way to provide translations on both the backend and the frontend. I searched for articles and tutorials, but I couldn’t find one that was solving the same problem I had. I found a lot of tutorials on “i18n-ing” Rails apps, and some on Rails and Javascript, but not on Rails and React. After spending some time researching, I decided to try rails-i18n and i18n-js gems.

    Everything else is set up like site/welcome, but here, we introduce pluralization for countable things. I18n is able to select the appropriate translation based on the variable passed to it. If you see that pluralization is not working well for your locale, it's a good idea to enhance your Rails app with the rails-i18n gem.

    No. That does not contain time only no date i cannot use that without also geting date output also: https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/blob/62ffdacdf52e2895715c9d708118bd5ffc320f6a/rails/locale/es-ES.yml. See? This is why I pose question in this reddit.

    The translations are accquired from rails-i18n project -- which is one of the first modules that does things like this.
  • What are People Using for Localizing Date/Time?
    1 project | /r/rails | 21 Jun 2021
    The Rails Locale Data Repository seems to be the only comprehensive collection of formats but unfortunately I have not seen a single date/time format it uses that is an actual date time format used in the given locale.
  • Why being a developer is frustrating — and why we do it anyway

    The cherry on top was that Comfy gem depended on rails-i18n, which overwrote date I18n translations coming from russian gem, breaking translations on some of the pages. Surely enough, this resulted in another hour or so of debugging and fixing.
