localization - How can I make Rails 3 localize my date formats? -

-

i working on rails 3 project there place date input within form. text field date uses date picker there no concern date being entered in wrong format, date being displayed in :db format (e.g. 2010-01-21).

(note: in form fields - e.g. <%= f.text_field :publish_date %>, should automatically use :default format, , shouldn't need provided value)

i have tried adding in customized locale has following date configuration:

date:     formats:       # use strftime parameters formats.       # when no format has been given, uses default.       # can provide other formats here if like!       default: "%d/%m/%y"       short: "%b %d"       long: "%b %d, %y"

and setting locale (config.i18n.default_locale = "en-au") doesn't seem take , becoming quite frustrating.

the app support number of locales, setting initializer override date formats @ application startup isn't suitable, , know should work - i'm guessing i've missed here.

the locale file is: config/locales/en-au.yml , in application.rb including: 

config.i18n.load_path += dir[rails.root.join("config", "locales", "*.yml").to_s] config.i18n.default_locale = "en-au"

in application.rb file.

when displaying date, can use i18n.l

so :

i18n.l @entry.created_at

and if want change it's format :

i18n.l @entry.created_at, :format => :short

the internationalization rails guide documenting that.
