Edit: (to be clear and to the point)
I want the following to work on heroku: "11/13/2011".to_datetime, meaning I need the dates to be in english format. Thanks
I've set this the i18n locale in my application.rb
config.i18n.default_locale = :en
config.i18n.locale = :en
In the heroku console:
I18n.locale
=> :en
So it seems like it's set correctly.
But when I do:
"11/13/2011".to_datetime
=> ArgumentError: invalid date
Noooo!
Do you have any idea of what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.
The i18n config had nothing to do with my problem.
Just a ruby version "problem".
I was working with ruby 1.8.7 in my local env, and heroku was at 1.9.x.
Rails 1.9 assumes EU format, 1.8.7 does not.

In my frontend non-translated strings are replaced with word form of their key instead of the translation of base language.
That means that changing locale to :en or :tr both shows Summaries Header for t('activerecord.misc.badge.summaries_header') instead of Auswertungen from German locale. So it's obviously build from the last part of the key. Summaries Header does not appear as Label in any locale.
Other in :en/:tr translated strings are shown correctly.
# config/application.rb
config.i18n.default_locale = :de
config.i18n.available_locales = [
:de, # Deutsch
:pt, # Portugiesisch
:en, # Englisch
:tr, # Türkisch
]
config.i18n.fallbacks = true
# Versions
ruby 2.7.2
rails 5.2.4.4
i18n 1.8.6
rails-i18n 5.1.3
I can't find the reason for that behavior and I can't figure out which update at which time broke this.
How can I fix this?
TL;DR: Update to i18n v1.8.7 or higher with bundle update i18n
i18n v1.8.6 was broken regarding getting fallbacks from config.i18n.* into Thread variables.
See i18n issue #546 and changelog for v1.8.7
In our Rails 4.2 app views, there is I18n error whenever there is no key found in zh-CN file:
translation missing: zh-CN.no key
Here is in local.rb under config/initializers/:
I18n.default_locale = 'zh-CN' if Rails.env.production? || Rails.env.development?
We would like to turn off this error and prevent it from showing on views. There is a post about the error for Rails 3. However the solutions are not working with Rails 4.2. Also config.i18n.fallbacks = false/true does not do the trick.
You must add both a fallback locale and a fallback language.
config.i18n.default_locale = :en
config.i18n.fallbacks = true
This should force I18n to fallback to english. I use it extensively on a Rails 4.1 app, I'm not sure if something changed over it for 4.2 though.
We can config I18n callbacks in Rails application. For example, when zh-CN translation missing, I18n will fallback to en. Configuration in my Rails 4.2.2 application like below:
config/application.rb
config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('config', 'locales', '**', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]
config.i18n.default_locale = :"zh-CN"
config.i18n.fallbacks = true
config/initializers/i18n.rb
Rails.configuration.after_initialize do
I18n.fallbacks.map(:"zh-CN" => :en)
end

I trying to add a chinese language.I was used gem rails i18n, and when I make that
I18n.locale = :cn
console show me an error
I18n::InvalidLocale: :cn is not a valid locale
or that
I18n.locale = :"zh-CN"
locale do not working
how fix it?
You need to change the following line to false in application.rb
config.i18n.enforce_available_locales = false
So, everything works fine locally, but at heroku it changes to :en
Fire up console on both environments:
Heroku:
heroku console --app myapp
Local:
rails c
Then play around
Heroku: > I18n.l Time.now
=> "Tue, 01 Mar 2011 06:43:58 -0800"
Local: > I18n.l Time.now
=> "tirsdag, 1. mars 2011, 15:43"
Heroku: > I18n.default_locale
=> :nb
Local: > I18n.default_locale
=> :nb
#after a lot more trial and error, I find this:
Heroku: > I18n.locale
=> :en
Local: > I18n.locale
=> :nb
Just doing I18n.locale = :nb in the console fixed the problem ATM, and when I refresh in different browsers, it works ok. But on redeploy, it's back to :en.
Do I have to set locale in initilizer too? I'm confused.
FYI: I don't programatically set I18n.locale anywhere. staging.rb is plain.
It helped setting locale directly:
config.i18n.default_locale = :nb
#Adding the below makes it work as expected at heroku
config.i18n.locale = :nb
What version of Ruby on Rails are you using? I'm not positive about 2.x, but in Rails 3 you can set the default locale in config/application.rb using config.i18n.default_locale = :en. (This is the line, commented out by default.)
I'm having trouble getting i18n to work on heroku.
I set:
I18n.default_locale = :de
in my environment.rb
and the translation is in config/locales/de.yml
works perfect on my local machines but not so on Heroku.
On heroku everything is in english.
I don't think I need a special gem like i18n gem, cause I don't have it on my local machine either.
Maybe someone has a solution to this?
Try to set the default local like this in your config.environment.rb:
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
# ...
config.i18n.default_locale = :de
end
The only solution I found that worked for me, on heroku, was setting it manually in the application controller.
application_controller.rb
before_filter :set_locale
def set_locale
I18n.locale = 'fr-QC' || I18n.default_locale
end
