How to change the "date" and "months" na

**oling** · 08-15-2006, 06:15 AM

I need to change the standard date/month name format into my local language. I think the standard (english) format is defined in index.php (perhaps in more places?):

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

Is this the line that needs to be modified?

Thanks, oling

Close - look further own the file.

Code:

define&#40;'DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y'&#41;;  // this is used for strftime&#40;&#41;
define&#40;'DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'&#41;; // this is used for strftime&#40;&#41;
define&#40;'DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'&#41;; // this is used for date&#40;&#41;
define&#40;'DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H&#58;%M&#58;%S'&#41;;

This is the portion in my languague file:

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'ISO_8859-1');

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd.m.Y'); // this is used for date()
define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

It still shows date and months in english (January, February...). I need these (dates and months) to appear in my own languague (translated). Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
