I ran into the same problem and I tried the links you provided. However, I could not get them to work. Finally, I came up with a solution:

1) add a new helper method in app/helpers/application_helper.rb

 def ordinalize_number number case I18n.locale when :en return number.ordinalize when :'zh-TW' return number else return number end end

2) update your config/locales/*.yml (en.yml in this case)

 end_quarter: 'End The %{order} Quarter'

3) use helper method with default i18n method in html.erb

 <%= t('end_quarter', :order => ordinalize_number(3)) %> # it will show "End The 3rd Quarter" properly

Although I'm not sure if this is the best solution, it works without changing any environment settings.
