Showing month name in another language?

Permalink
Hi guys,

I'm struggling with this: I have installed the Pro Events blog, which works fine. But as my website is in Danish, I would like it to show the months and weekday names in Danish instead of English.

However, no matter what I do, it keeps showing in English.

I tried to add the following to my site.php, but it doesn't help:
define('LOCALE', 'da_DK');
setlocale (LC_TIME, 'da_DK');

Any help is really appreciated :)

Thank you,

Jesper

Have you tried the 'internationalization' addon?-http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/internationalization/...

It says "Setup as many different languages as you want with this free add-on. You get complete flexibility for each language, but also the ability to quickly jump from one translation to another as you navigate the site."

Want more translation tools? Check out the enterprise version.

Hi Jesper,

if a package uses $cobj->getCollectionDatePublic() in the view template the monthnames are not translated. You can try to find the spots where this command is used and replace it with a call of the strftime() function.
$date = $cobj->getCollectionDatePublic("U");
setlocale(LC_TIME, LOCALE);
echo strftime('%x',$date);

See other options for strftime here:http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php...

Please note that your server needs to have the proper locale installed for the desired language.

Also have a look at this threadhttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/set-locale-on-date-...
