Rails - Dec 2009 - A possible bug in in i18n - how can I check if this is a bug and submit it

Whilst trying to localize the date/time tag 2009-12-01 21:49:59 +0900
I kept getting the error TypeError: can''t convert nil into String
 coming from activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/vendor/i18n-0.1.3/
lib/i18n/backend/simple.rb:62:in `gsub!''

The code happened to be


        format.gsub!(/%b/, translate(locale, :"date.abbr_month_names")
[object.mon])
        format.gsub!(/%B/, translate(locale, :"date.month_names")
[object.mon])

object.mon was being called as 12, where the array index would have
been 11 for the 12th item hence the error being made,

I added a dummy 0 month item in my localization file and it worked...

Is this a bug?

Please let me know...

Cheers

Richard

Well looking at the various translation files at
http://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails/locale/ they
all have a dummy valye as the first month name, so it would certainly
seem that the rails i18n folks are aware of it. They''ve got a google
group which would be the sensible place to discuss this further

Thanks Fred for shining some light on that! I will just go along with
the fix however odd it is..

Cheers
