tordans / application_helper.rb

Created September 27, 2010 12:47

Eine pragmatische Lösung für das Übersetzungsproblem der Rails Methode distance_of_time_in_words(). Im Deutschen wird je nach Satzbau eine andere Ausgabe benötigt.

	# ---
	# Code gehört in app/helpers/application_helper.rb (oder einen anderen Helper…)
	# ---

	# Ausgabe: "Vor mehr als 5 Monaten"/"Vor etwa einem Jahr" — statt "Dauer: mehr als 5 Monate"/"Dauer: etwa 1 Jahr", wie es die Originalfunktion liefert
	# Original-File: actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb, line 63
	# Dokumenation: http://apidock.com/rails/v2.3.8/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper/distance_of_time_in_words
	# Changelog: I18n.with_options-Scope geändert auf "distance_in_words_gebeugt"
	def distance_of_time_in_words_gebeugt(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds = false, options = {})
	from_time = from_time.to_time if from_time.respond_to?(:to_time)
