Ho do I show dates in dutch
Hi,
I want to show my posted dates in dutch long format (e.g. 14 augustus 2005 instead of 14-8-2005), but keep my language settings in English. <txp:posted> has the format attribute, but it’s output depends on the LOCALE settings or some setlocale() php call. Is there any way to change this? Or is there a <txp:posted> plugin that supports a “lang” attribute?
Thanks,
Danny

Re: Ho do I show dates in dutch
Something like this might work:
global $locale;
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL.UTF-8');
echo posted(array('format' => '%A %B %e %Y, %H:%M:%S'));
setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale);
</txp:php>Change the format as required, see the faq for details. You might have to experiment with locale names, nl_NL.UTF-8 may not be supported on your system.

I tried using this with Hebrew (he_IL) and it didn’t work. Do you know why, maybe?
Thanks

Re: Ho do I show dates in dutch
As zem wrote, experimenting with several locale variations can help, as shown in the PHP setlocale page e.g. in my case de_DE would not work for German, but adding further options did:
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE', 'deu_deu');
In some cases the language name itself will work, e.g.
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'german');
Remember, though, a new host may have different locale settings, so you will need to check again when you transfer from a local to an online server.
