How to apply locale translations for a Date field?

Hi, 

The subject says it all; how can I apply locale translations for a Date-field in SimleForm?

Regards,

Btw, the SimpleForm statement that I want to localize is as follows:

<%= f.input :visit_date, :label => 'Besøksdato', :as => :string, :input_html => { :class => 'date_picker', :size => 10 } %>

In the same way that you localize the dafault Rails date input.

See this file: https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/blob/master/rails/locale/nn.yml

No, that doesn't help for this date field in the SimpleForm. Maybe I
should restate the question. For nomal date fields I use the standard
Rails i18n localize mechanism way like so:

<%= l @company_visit.finalization_date %></p>

How do you apply the localize function in a SimpleForm date field like
this?

<%= f.input :visit_date, :label => 'Besøksdato', :as
=> :string, :input_html => { :class => 'date_picker', :size => 10 }
%>

Btw. I'm quite new to Ruby/Rails, so I apologize if this is a silly
question.

You can't. The only way is using the Rails i18n API.

See this: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#method-i-date_select

Per, to show a formatted value with string inputs, you have to give the :value option to :input_html, using the i18n API as Rafael said:

 f.input :visit_date, :label => 'Besøksdato', :as => :string, :input_html => { :class => 'date_picker', :size => 10, :value => l(f.object.visit_date) }

Or something like that. Remember that this is only the output, it does not mean Rails will allow the same input from your user, that's up to you to do.
