I’m using Rails I18n, which seems to be the problem I cant figure out why its not working though, my en.yml faile looks legit: number: format: precision: 2 separator: ‘,’ delimiter: ‘.’ currency: format: unit: ‘€’ format: ‘%n%u’ separator: delimiter: precision: percentage: format: delimiter: “” precision: format: delimiter: “” human: format: delimiter: “” precision: 1 storage\_units: # Storage units output formatting. # %u is the storage unit, %n is the number (default: 2 MB) format: “%n %u” units: byte: one: “Byte” other: “Bytes” kb: “KB” mb: “MB” gb: “GB” tb: “TB” ---
