Pass locale correctly to the relative timestamps in Persian.

[12]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We need to update our Gregorian timestamps to support Persian, this includes using different numerals and right-to-left support.

Describe the solution you'd like When viewing an article in Persian, the timestamp should:

• Use Eastern Arabic numerals (possibly returned when using moment's fa locale) e.g. ۱۸ ژوئن ۲۰۱۹
• Be right-to-left (should be fixed by adding dir on page level in #611)
• Have onscreen and offscreen translations in Farsi for Updated text
• When time is updated, the updated timestamps should all read in Farsi

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Testing notes Regression on timestamps in News/Persian. Checking with someone who reads Persian whether the date is correct.

Dev insight: Cypress and unit tests with updated snapshots should ensure translations are correct.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

No it's not @dr3. This is still the Gregorian calendar, #1567 is to investigate non-Gregorian (Jalili) calendars. We still need to translate the Gregorian calendar to Farsi.

Use Eastern Arabic numerals (possibly returned when using moment's fa locale)

In that case, this is true :) and Eastern Arabic numerals will be done in https://github.com/bbc/simorgh/issues/1663

@rhell please could you expand on 'Have onscreen and offscreen translations in Farsi for Updated text'? What are the offscreen requirements??

@greenc05 I think I was referring to the relative timestamp e.g. Updated 25 mins ago. Looking at our UX though I can't see any notes for offscreen text... I'll try and remember what I meant here 😛

When these two fields are updated in the local fixture data, We get time updated in English instead of in Farsi which is the expected output.

"lastPublished": 1535122662000,
"lastUpdated": 1535122662000,
