Date format vs. non-English days/months

**Vampyre** · 01-21-2007, 07:59 AM

In vB, I can translate days and months to non-English words, via Languages & Phrases section.
The date format, however, doesn't allow such translation.:eek_ma:

Would anyone know how to modify the date format to show days and months in non-English languages at all, please?
The language in question is Thai, which utilizes multi-byte characters, and unfortunately, there's no Thai version of PHP.:sad_m:

The only setting for time is in admincp > options > date and time options.

I've found it!
You can edit settings of your preferred language via Language Manager.
There, you can set locale and override date formats yourself.

Some reference can be found in PHP documentation for setlocale() and strftime().

Ah very good. I have never had a need to even look at the language manager. That's good to know and I am sure someone may find what you learned useful. Thanks for sharing.
