A:
Avoid doing it on the server and try it on the client instead by using the jQuery timeago plugin. Timeago has support for i18n.
This turns this:
<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>
Into this:
<abbr class="timeago" title="July 17, 2008">about a year ago</abbr>

Although awkward at first sight, doing this on client side has one very clear advantage: time info on your page never gets noncurrent (in case that you save page for offline access, for example). Search engines also shouldn't be interested in "humanized" version of timestamps.

A:
If you are using Rails > 2.2, the helper is already locale-aware.
Just download the right localization file from the locale repository and store it into your /config/locales path. Then set your locale preferences.
