Chatbox day indicator not correctly formatted, according to the i18n configuration

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug The date that is shown at the top of a chat box is not being correctly formatted according to the i18n configuration. Using i18n = 'pt-BR' I expected the date to be formatted in brazilian portuguese language, but it’s being formatted in english.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open conversejs with i18n: 'pt_BR' configuration
Open a chatbox that has a message and look at the day indicator

Expected behavior I expected the day indicator to be localized with the locale configured with i18n.

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

Desktop or Mobile? = Desktop
Browser [e.g. Chrome, Firefox] = Chrome Version 86.0.4240.75
Converse.js version = 6.0.1

Looks like DayJS doesn’t get initialized with the right locale, or perhaps initialized too late.

Here’s where it gets initialized: https://github.com/conversejs/converse.js/blob/e49f97472a797c9722e5b51f65c159dc6ca1bb14/src/i18n/index.js#L81

@guusdk: Maybe this is something that @bernard-ng could take a look at?

There is pt-br, so maybe it’s just a matter of having a - instead of _ and making it all lowercase?

Oh my bad, let me try it
