Not really related to your question but here's a little info: strftime
knows the formatter %e which returns a single digit with a leading
space (instead of a zero) for days < 10.
Regarding your backend question: The simple backend that ships with
Rails has only one purpose: To serve the translations that Rails needs
internally in order to be backwards compatible. In most cases,
especially if you want "real" i18n/l10n in your app (for example multi-
language content), you'd want to use a different backend such as the
upcoming Globalize 2.
