Date validation fails for all September dates in Spanish

Rails Rails I18n
1

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.
