jekyll-i18n-date

Tiny yet quite robust filter plugin for DateTime Localization in Jekyll

Based on deleted https://github.com/gacha/gacha.id.lv/blob/master/_plugins/i18n_filter.rb

Usage

1. Add jekyll-i18n-date to _plugins folder of your site.
2. Create folder _locales and put some locale files from https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails/locale there.
3. Add lang variables to _config.yaml or to frontmatter of any page/post like this:

   lang: de
   

4. Localize your Date/DateTime/Time variables with

   {{ page.date | localize: "%d.%m.%Y" }}
   

   or ```liquid {{ post.date | localize: "%d.%m.%Y", "es" }}

## Precedence
1. Lang parameter in liquid
2. Page
3. Site

If no locale file for language parameter is found in `_locales` or date is nil, default date format is displayed.
If "date" happens to be an integer value, it is converted with `Time.at()` (this rather suprising behaviour should probably be changed)
