Using Symfony2.8 date is DateTime object
twig
{{ event.createDate|time_diff }}
services.yml
twig.extension.date:
class: Twig_Extensions_Extension_Date
arguments: ["@translator"]
tags:
- { name: twig.extension }
output is not like 'ago', but just 'diff.ago.day'. In twig dump shows this string also. What is wrong?
I think you forgot to actually make the translations in your app.
This is a good resource to reference.
Which says:
(if the translations folder doesn't exist, then create it). For example, the following file (app/Resources/translations/date.de.xliff) provides the translation for our dates in German:
And they give a good example on the contents of that translation.

</file>
</xliff>
Of course if you want yours in english then the file should be app/Resources/translations/date.en.xliff and of course you'd replace the German above with something in english to your own taste/choice.
