Convert CLDR Date/Time pattern to Ruby-compatible pattern about twitter-cldr-rb

Hey @adamdebono, thanks for asking about this 😄

Unfortunately the library doesn't have this functionality right now. Any attempt at adding it would have to be best-effort too, since CLDR offers some formatting options that Ruby does not. You could probably get ~90% of the way there. Ruby's strftime also doesn't have the ability to produce i18n-aware strings, i.e. it won't know to emit "lunes" in Spanish instead of "Monday."

If you're interested in implementing this, it's probably best to distribute it in a separate gem.

Yep I thought that might be the case, thanks for the response.

While strftime won't produce the locale-aware strings, I'm pretty i18n-rails will? Which for my purposes is fine.

Since it's pretty specific for my project I might implement this internally for now. If I can get it working well enough it could be extracted out into a gem.
