Forum: Rails I18n Date validation fails for all September dates in Spanish

Here's how I've got my dates set up:



date:
formats:
# Use the strftime parameters for formats.
# When no format has been given, it uses default.
# You can provide other formats here if you like!
default: "%d-%m-%Y"
short: "%b %d"
long: "%B %d, %Y"


day_names: [Domingo, Lunes, Martes, Miércoles, Jueves, Viernes, Sábado]
abbr_day_names: [Dom, Lun, Mar, Mie, Jue, Vie, Sab]


# Don't forget the nil at the beginning; there's no such thing as a 0th 
month
month_names: [~, Enero, Febrero, Marzo, Abril, Mayo, Junio, Julio, 
Agosto, Septiembre, Octubre, Noviembre, Diciembre]
abbr_month_names: [~, Ene, Feb, Mar, Abr, May, Jun, Jul, Ago, Sep, Oct, 
Nov, Dic]
# Used in date_select and datime_select.
order: [ :día, :mes, :día]


If I enter any September date, such as Septiembre 10, 1991, then I get a 
validation error like this: Se produjeron problemas con los campos 
siguientes:

    • Fecha de nacimiento is not a valid date


I know, I've got some work to do on the validation message. But the 
bigger question is... why is the validation failing? Is anyone else 
seeing this?


Thanks!

You enter it through a date_select, right, not by typing the string in
a text_field? Rails doesn't support the latter, to my knowledge.

We use a jquery UI datepicker.

Here's what's really weird about this. If I type in the date in the 
mm/dd/yyyy format like this: 9/10/1991, then it works and after saving 
is displayed as Septiembre 10, 1991. If I don't change anything and try 
to save it, I get the validation error. For some reason, this only 
happens on September dates.
