If you are using Rails > 2.2, the helper is already locale-aware.

Just download the right localization file from the locale repository and store it into your /config/locales path. Then set your locale preferences.

Avoid doing it on the server and try it on the client instead by using the jQuery timeago plugin. Timeago has support for i18n.

This turns this:

<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>

Into this:

<abbr class="timeago" title="July 17, 2008">about a year ago</abbr>

And supports language overrides.
