Days are not translated in the default language

I am generating days like this:

(1..days_in_month(year, month)).each do |day|
  calendar << Day.new(day, day_from_date(format_day(day), month, year))
end

And then I access their names in the show page:

<% @calendar.each_with_index do |d, i| %>       
   <tr>
   <td><%= d.name %></td>
<% end %>

The days are in English despite having set the default language in French.

application.rb

config.i18n.default_locale = :fr

config/locales/fr.yml

fr:
  date:
   abbr_day_names:
  - dim
  - lun
  - mar
  - mer
  - jeu
  - ven
  etc.

Console output:

2.1.5 :001 > I18n.locale
=> :fr

Why aren't the days translated in French?

EDIT:

Since it's a project I had to take over, I tried to look for a documentation for the Day class. I found a local documentation page that explains that Day "represents a day as a number and a name". It doesn't seem to be coming from an official documentation.

You can eventually translate the day names like this:

<% @calendar.each_with_index do |d, i| %>       
   <tr>
   <td><%= t('date.abbr_day_names')[d.number] %></td>
<% end %>

This implies that the attribute number of the Day records represent the "day index" in a 7 days week.
