This code is a basic internationalization of dates in Jekyll without plugin. You just have to copy the include, a string file and make a correct call with the liquid tag {% translated_date.html ... %}

Usage

Insert the following liquid tag in your code:

{% include translated_date.html date=A_DATE format=YOUR_FORMAT lang=THE_LANG_TO_USE %}

  • date is the date to be used (ex: page.date)
  • format is the date format you want to use (ex: "%A %-d %B %Y") following the date filter syntax. If you omit this parameter the default will be:
    • date_format if set in the _config.yml
    • "%b %-d, %Y" otherwise.
  • lang is the language to use for the translation (ex: en or fr). You have to put a file THE_LANG_TO_USE.yml in the _data/locales folder. If you omit lang parameter the default will be:
    • lang set in the Front Matter of your post or page.
    • lang set in the _config.yml

This include will replace in the format string the %a (abbreviated day name), %A (full day name), %b (abbreviated month name) and %B (full month name), by the corresponding translation found in the _data/locales/[lang].yml file.

Example

{% include translated_date.html date=post.date format="%-d %B %Y" lang="pl" %}

Context

This is the code I've designed when trying to localized my blog oncleben31.cc (Jekyll sources available at oncleben31/oncleben31-cc).

I've made it the more reusable possible with the idea to push it in minima, the default Jekyll theme. There is still an opened PR jekyll/minima#60 with this code and some strings to translate the theme.
