Weekday names in own language

[HariZ]

Hi!

My YaBBSE 1.1.0 board just won't take the names of the days and months (in Dutch) from my dutch.lng

I thought that the forum gets those words from dutch.lng, but in that file, all names of months/weekdays are in correct Dutch, so he seems to get it from elsewhere (since I have deleted the english.lng and he still displayed the english names).

My question: How do I set the forum so that he will pick the correct Dutch names of months/weeks?

In this support forum, I also have set the dutch.lng in my profile, but overhere, the forum DOES display the right name...

In the language file the very first entry I believe is soemthing like set locale.  This is what needs to be changed.  You can always download the file from here to see what the code for it is, I'm not sure offhand.

The board here is not 1.1.0 any longer, but 1.3.x. The versions 1.1.0 and 1.3.x translate the weekday names in a different manner. Release 1.1.0 requires that this line in the language file:
$locale = "xx_XX";
is containing the proper value for your national locales, and furthermore that this locales are installed on your webhost. Since some people had the problem that their nationale locales are not installed on their webhosts. If not installed, you will not see weekday names in your language.

For 1.3.0 the weekday names are taken directly from the language file.

Examples for locale strings in the language file:
English: $locale = "en_US";
German: $locale = "de_DE";

The current dutch.lng on this yabb.info site here is containing a wrong value, namely: $locale = "nl";
which is wrong. The correct locale would have the shape "xx_XX".

I've just fixed it by searching for 'locale' on this forum which gave me the solution!  

Here is what worked for me:

somewhere in your Settings.php, you see the following lines:

Code Select Expand

$profilebutton = 0;         # 1 to show view profile button under post, or 0 for blank
$timeformatstring = "%A %e %B %Y, %I:%M:%S %p";            # Select your preferred output Format of Time and Date

Just add the line:

Code Select Expand

setlocale ("LC_TIME", "nl_NL");

between those 2 lines (this example is for dutch users) and you'll get the following:

Code Select Expand

$profilebutton = 0;         # 1 to show view profile button under post, or 0 for blank
setlocale ("LC_TIME", "nl_NL");
$timeformatstring = "%A %e %B %Y, %I:%M:%S %p";            # Select your preferred output Format of Time and Date

When you upload this new Settings.php, you'll see the right names of months as well as weekdaynames!

BUT: When you change anything in your settings from your admin-center from now on, this line will automaticaly be deleted so you will have the old time-formatting again... just keep that in mind...

You could always upgrade to 1.1 or 1.3 when it comes out
