Rails time_ago_in_words producing poor performance

Question

I thought this might happen due to the switch to activesupport 2.3.5, but now I believe something else was about to happen.

The model has a valid rfc822 style date:

>> s.lastVisitDate => "Thu, 06 Jan 2011 22:24:10 -0800" 

But in my opinion:

 <%=h time_ago_in_words(@site.lastVisitDate) -%> renders: *about {{count}} hours ago* instead of: *about 2 hours ago* which was working just fine earlier. 

I wonder if anyone else has seen this behavior. I looked at the version history for the model and view, and nothing has changed lately, so I believe that I must have messed up something on the configuration side.

Answer 1

I found that I am missing the corresponding values ​​in the locale file.

So, in my case, I added the following to /config/locales/en.yml

I'm not sure why this worked before, or which particular stone or configuration change caused this problem, but if correctly defined here make the actionpack happy.
