localize(locale, object, format = :default, options = {}) — I18n::Backend::Base

localize(locale, object, format = :default, options = {})

Acts the same as strftime, but uses a localized version of the format string. Takes a key from the date/time formats translations as a format argument (e.g., :short in :'date.formats').

Parameters

locale req
object req
format opt = :default
options opt = {}
