Howto translate date

[Ianedres]

I was looking at this also and thought it may be a regional setting for your server's php configuration...

See this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php

Follow a few of the examples (under the changelog) to check what your server is returning...

Hey Ianedres.

Example 1:

Code Select Expand

<?php
/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');

/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));

/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
?>

Returned:

Code Select Expand

vrijdag 22 december 1978Preferred locale for german on this system is 'de_DE@euro'

Example 2:

Code Select Expand

<?php
/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nld_nld');

/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));

/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'deu_deu');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
?>

Returned:

Code Select Expand

Friday 22 December 1978Preferred locale for german on this system is 'de_DE@euro'

I don't know what they mean. :buck2:

This sets the language to Italian on my United States server.

Code Select Expand

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'it_IT.ISO8859-1', 'it_IT.UTF-8');

By combining it with this next line, it outputs the date in Italian properly.

Code Select Expand


echo strftime("%A, %d %B %Y") . "\n";

Not sure where to place the setlocale in the TP scripts...  Bloc?

fak3,

OK, per Bloc's request, and so that I don't have to keep watching this topic, I have posted this issue on the bugtracker.  The link to the bug is here --> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=bugtracker;sa=bug498

If you are interested, I suggest you check the bugtracker once in a while to check on the status of this.  Bloc will get to it and sort it out as soon as he can.

You have a fix there now.

[G6Cad]
