Method: I18n::Backend::Base#localize

Defined in:
lib/i18n/backend/base.rb

- (Object) localize(locale, object, format = :default, options = {})

Acts the same as strftime, but uses a localized version of the format string. Takes a key from the date/time formats translations as a format argument (e.g., :short in :'date.formats').

Raises:
