timesince / timeuntil is not localized

[Lé]

When l10n/i18n are on, the |timeuntil and |timesince filters do not provide translated strings.

I.e., with end a datetime object obtained with timezone.now() + timedelta(days=21):

{% load i18n l10n humanize %}

{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
{{ LANGUAGE_CODE }}, {{ end }}, {{ end|timeuntil }}, {{ end|naturaltime }}, {% trans "Password" %}

returns:
es_ES, Oct. 20, 2014, 3:30 p.m., 2 weeks, 6 days, 2 weeks, 6 days a partir de ahora, Contraseña

So the localization is working, but those filters do not seem to use it.

See attached project for a working version of this example.

Can you try using the "es" as language code in your settings instead of es_ES? This is what django uses [1].

IIRC, gettext will fallback to English, if it cannot find the files that correspond to the correct locale, which could explain the weird behavior here.

The code looks correct to me with a quick look.

Same thing. The point of my example is that "regular" strings do get translated (I don't have any project-specific locale file to translate "password", this is Django's translation), so it is able to find the locale files.

Turned out I did not realize I was still using RC2. 1.7 does not have this bug, even though I don't know when/where it has been solved. Sorry.
