I guess they should be merged. Currently Transifex sees only the second usage of `datetime`. If those keys are merged it will make the `month_names` translatable.

Thank you @gerhard for your insight. I gave a try to your solution, and also gave a try to replacing the `time` alias by duplicate values, just in case it would be the problem. I ended up with a _config/locales/server.en.yml_ file looking like this: (truncated)
```
datetime: &datetime
month_names:
[~, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December]

about_x_hours:

other: "%{count}h"
x_days:

other: "%{count}d"
about_x_months:
one: "1mon"
other: "%{count}mon"
x_months:
one: "1mon"
other: "%{count}mon"
about_x_years:
one: "1y"
other: "%{count}y"
over_x_years:
one: "> 1y"
other: "> %{count}y"
almost_x_years:
one: "1y"
other: "%{count}y"
distance_in_words_verbose:
half_a_minute: "just now"
less_than_x_seconds:
one: "just now"
other: "just now"
x_seconds:
one: "1 second ago"
other: "%{count} seconds ago"
less_than_x_minutes:
one: "less than 1 minute ago"
other: "less than %{count} minutes ago"
x_minutes:
one: "1 minute ago"
other: "%{count} minutes ago"
about_x_hours:
one: "1 hour ago"
other: "%{count} hours ago"
x_days:
one: "1 day ago"
other: "%{count} days ago"
about_x_months:
one: "about 1 month ago"
other: "about %{count} months ago"
x_months:
one: "1 month ago"
other: "%{count} months ago"
about_x_years:
one: "about 1 year ago"
other: "about %{count} years ago"
over_x_years:
one: "over 1 year ago"
other: "over %{count} years ago"
almost_x_years:
one: "almost 1 year ago"
other: "almost %{count} years ago"
date:
<<: *datetime
time:
month_names:
[~, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December]

short_no_year: "%B %-d"
date_only: "%B %-d, %Y"
```
Sadly, it did not solve the problem, and both **removing the duplicate datetime entires** and **copying the datetime values to time** did not solve the problem…
Any other ideas or pointers?

Same problem here since a while :
```plaintext
Jobs::HandledExceptionWrapper: Wrapped I18n::MissingTranslationData: translation missing: en.time.formats.short
```
Seems related to [Email failed on V1.2.3 - #4 by eviltrout](https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-failed-on-v1-2-3/28189/4)
Upgrading to v1.3.5 and then to v1.4.0.beta9 does not fix this issue.

Really? You are seeing this in v1.4.0.beta9?
I checked this last week on the master branch and it worked. Well, at least it worked in production mode. It definitely doesn’t work in development mode.

This one just work in rails console (production env) :
Jobs::UserEmail.new.execute(type: “digest”, user\_id: …, current\_site\_id: “default”)
But it does not work through Sidekiq, even after a restart. I do not understand why.
Edit: deliverability test works well.

Oh, I see. I didn’t test it with Sidekiq. I just used admin interface for previewing the digest mail.
Maybe the locale fallback doesn’t work inside Sidekiq? cc @riking

OK, I can confirm this bug still exists in master. The digest preview works, but the actual Sidekiq job fails with:
```
Jobs::HandledExceptionWrapper: Wrapped I18n::MissingTranslationData: translation missing: de.time.formats.short
```
Somehow the locale fallback doesn’t work in this case.
This is quite a **severe bug** since it’s not possible to send digest mails when those translations are missing.
@sam I wanted to find out what’s causing this, but I couldn’t figure out how to debug Sidekiq jobs. Any hints in case I need to do this again? I tried following the steps [mentioned on stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24558734/451338), but my Sidekiq instance completly ignored all enqueued jobs. ☹
Update: I guess we need to call `I18n.fallbacks.ensure_loaded!` somewhere. It’s currently only called in [application\_controller.rb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L152-L160).
Update 2: I sent a PR which should fix this:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3786](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3786)

It fixed my problem. I’ll drop my hotfix, thank for your commit! For information, last digest my instance sent was march 18, 2015.
