Hello! Is there an option to translate date format? I am using different languages in my template, but date is shown in English only. Thank you.
khomutovspace Hi, yes that’s true. Support for other date languages is planned for a future release though.
khomutovspace Hi, the latest version includes now an additional locale parameter for the dateFormat string function. Therefore it is now possible to translate also days and month names in dates according to the locale.
locale
dateFormat
@mad The returned string isn't utf-8 encoded, resulting in strange characters (e.g. for the german string for march: 'März'). It would be the best to encode the returned formatted string with utf8_encode().
Thank you very much!
[deleted] Thanks for pointing this out! Will be fixed with the next release. 😊
Will this be fixed soon? 🙂
[deleted] Hi there! To always encode the returned string unfortunately won’t work in every environment. I think the safest solution is to use the correctly encoded locale instead. Check out this comment. The correct locale for you would be de_DE.utf8 I guess.
de_DE.utf8
Thank you! I didn't know that it is possible to encode the locale in PHP. Learned something 😀
I think it would be helpful to point that out in the 'dateFormat' section of the dev guide; maybe in one of the examples... 👍️
Hi ! May I know how I can add an additional locale parameter for the dateFormat string function ? I have tried to setup the "Locale" setting in the parameters, but my dates are still using the English locale. Thanks !
Limezy Locales have to be installed on the OS. This is nothing that one can do on webserver or PHP level. There are a couple of discussions on StackOverflow about how to do this on different operating systems.
Also that you have to use the ICU syntax in order to use the locale parameter.
