I'm running jevents in French. Many of the dates appear in English - whats going on?
The date is formatted with the php function strftime() which uses the locale of your Joomla installation. Check if the locale is set to fr_FR, fr_CA, fr_CH,...
If you are using Joomfish - make sure your ISO codes are set correctly.
The locale date strings are part of the C library of your server operating system. Assuming you have a Unix/Linux based server you can check your server with the following php script:
setlocale(LC_TIME, "C");
echo strftime("%A");
setlocale(LC_TIME, "fi_FI");
echo strftime(" in Finnish is %A,");
setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");
echo strftime(" in French %A and");
setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE");
echo strftime(" in German %A.\n");
If run on a Thurday this should display:
Thursday in Finnish is torstai, in French jeudi and in German Donnerstag.
To make life a little easier JEvents 1.4 contains a little script that you canuse to analyse you Locale Settings.
