Hi Jesper,
I've been doing something similar myself and also ran into this problem:
# Modification of ruby constants
class Date #:nodoc:
#FIXME as these are defined as Ruby constants, they can't be
overwritten
MONTHNAMES =LocalizationSimplified::DateHelper::Monthnames
ABBR_MONTHNAMES =LocalizationSimplified::DateHelper::AbbrMonthnames
DAYNAMES =LocalizationSimplified::DateHelper::Daynames
ABBR_DAYNAMES =LocalizationSimplified::DateHelper::AbbrDaynames
end
I don't know if it's really a problem though, it runs fine on my dev
server, but you get the ugly warnings though...
I'd also be interested in translating this into Dutch.
Cheers,
Jeroen
