Localize month names - Calendar Railscasts #213
You should use the localize method of I18n (shortened as l):
<h2 id="month"><%= l(@date) %></h2>Then you can set different formats on your own:http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html#adding-date-time-formats
# config/locales/es.ymles: date: formats: short: "%B %Y" default: "%D %m, %Y"And use it like this:
<h2 id="month"><%= l(@date, format: :short) %></h2>
just want to clarify that if you use with active record, just simply convert the string datetime value to date object as example below.
en: date: formats: default: "%Y-%m-%d" short: "%b %d" long: "%B %d, %Y" enter code here<%= l(post.the_created_at.to_date, format: :long) %>
