My Rails Application uses internationalization.

In my admin stats I want to display the last log in time of users: <td> <%= distance_of_time_in_words_to_now(user.current_sign_in_at) %> ago </td>

But rails wants to translate the whole statement and I get the following translation error: translation missing: de.datetime.distance_in_words.x_days ago

How can I tell rails to use the default [EN] language in distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ?

Use fallback https://stackoverflow.com/a/7245792/4758119 – Deepak Mahakale Aug 05 '17 at 09:29
Ah great thanks - that worked. Had to restart the server though. – xpnimi Aug 05 '17 at 09:38
hmmm, on localhost everything was fine, on heroku I still get the error and I already restarted the server with `heroku restart` – xpnimi Aug 05 '17 at 12:04
did you commit the changes and pushed the code? – Deepak Mahakale Aug 05 '17 at 12:06
Yes just checked. I am on rails 4.2.6 – xpnimi Aug 05 '17 at 12:12
maybe I should put the fallback in `config/environments/production.rb`? – xpnimi Aug 05 '17 at 12:14
Yes - that did the trick, I changed `config.i18n.fallbacks = true` to `config.i18n.fallbacks = [:en]` – xpnimi Aug 05 '17 at 12:20
well the answer said that only ;) – Deepak Mahakale Aug 05 '17 at 12:22
`config.i18n.fallbacks =[:de, :fr, :en]` – Deepak Mahakale Aug 05 '17 at 12:22
