Displaying swedish date-format

joel · 2006-03-27 08:45:00

Hi!

I recently moved my site to another server (within the same hosting company). Everything seems to work fine except the swedish date-formats. Even though I set the languge to swedish I am only allowed to choose from the english date-formats. It looks to me like the new server has a different configuration than the previous one.

My host is quite confused about this. He wants to know if there are certain modules etc. that should be installed for txp to work proberly.
The server is linux/apache.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Kanske en titt i den svenska delen av forumet kan hjÃ¤lpa till?

Yes, I’ve been searching there as well… with no luck so far…

Any ideas?

I could join joel on this. TXP hasn’t been translated to my language yet (Serbian) and I would like localised dates too. For instance, I am using the monthly archive technique, and I get like “march 2006” which is kind of an eyesore in an all serbian site.

I keep remidning myself to translate TXP completely to serbian, but I just can’t get myself to do it because I always seem to lack time. Right now I am using a partially translated english lang file, basically everything that goes an ordinary visitor would ever get to see is translated, but I prefer to keep the interface in english for some reason still. :)

But the thing is that the dates aren’t in relation with the language-file. I think this has something to do with the webserver. Whats bugging me most is that it used to work on my previous server.

Would this post help?

Dragan · 2006-03-27 17:47:33

yeah, I guess that’s it, but where am I supposed to put that php code? Just include it at the beginning of my page template?

els · 2006-03-27 17:49:45

I think it’s meant to be used instead of <txp:posted />, or wherever you need a date output…

Joel: if Swedish is working in the admin interface but not dates, it means your server doesn’t support the Swedish locale. You could ask your hosting company about it; the locale identifiers we’re looking for are ‘sv_SE.UTF-8’, ‘sv_SE’, ‘sv’, ‘swe’, ‘sve’, ‘swedish’, ‘sv_SE.ISO_8859-1’.

More in the FAQ. If you find a locale identifier that works, post it here please.

Dragan: even a partial translation is better than nothing. Post what you have on the i18n forum, maybe someone will help.

OK zem, will do.

joel · 2006-03-28 09:49:47

Thanks Zem!

I’ve posted this info to my host. Hope it will work out finally.

I tried this code:
<code><txp:php>
global $locale;
setlocale(LC_ALL, ‘sr_YU.UTF-8’);
echo posted(array(‘format’ => ‘%B %Y’));
setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale);
</txp:php></code>
and it still outputs “March 2006” instead of “Mart 2006”. The locale sr_YU.UTF-8 is supposed to be correct.

I have asked my server admin about this but he is away currently, so maybe you guys could tell what is the problem here?
