Language Help & Translation

PostCalendar 4.0 always displayes the English names of the months and days!? But the correct ones are written down in the translation-files (deu → German).

All translations are handled by the php strftime function in the templates and should translate it for you automatically as long as the _PC_LOCALE setting is set correctly in the globals.php language file.

There’s also a lang.xxx file in the conf directory of the templates that will also need to be modified. If your php install only knows english, this could be the problem.

Yep, that did it!

I didn’t know a thing about this locale setting. I went on the php site and looked things up, had to try various settings for the variable, as fr_FR didnt work on my server.

So I finally got this working with fr_FR.iso885915@euro. That’s a mouthful! If your language is cyrillic and you are using PostCalendar in a Windows environment, then the locale setting or CHARSET needs to be defined as “Windows-1851”.

Anyway, Postcalendar now works great! Everything is in French, apart from a few words here and there. I’ll fix those in the templates I suppose.
