I have tried to change the date language to Welsh, but it isn’t working. So far, I have….

Installed Welsh language pack, which works fine in most aspects.
Edited JA Teline’s index.php file, so that the JA Day section now reads

<div class=”ja-day”>
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, “cy_GB”);
echo “<span>”.date (‘l’).”</span>”;
echo ” <div>”.date (‘M’).” “.date (‘d’).date (‘S’).”</div>”;
?>
</div>[/FONT]

cy_GB being the code for Welsh (Cymraeg). But the date is still displayed in English. Why is this happening?

Please bear in mind that I have very limited knowledge of code, and am using Joomla! to avoid coding as much as possible. I need a simple, newbie answer to this question, explained in detail.

Hi,
I have managed to change the day names into Welsh by following the method in the link. This is the code as I have it now

[FONT=”Courier New”]<div class=”ja-day”>
<?php
$day = date(“l”);
$daynum = date(“j”);
$month = date(“M”);
$year = date(“Y”);

switch($day)
{
case “Monday”: $day = “Dydd Llun”; break;
case “Tuesday”: $day = “Dydd Mawrth”; break;
case “Wednesday”: $day = “Dydd Mercher”; break;
case “Thursday”: $day = “Dydd Iau”; break;
case “Friday”: $day = “Dydd Gwener”; break;
case “Saturday”: $day = “Dydd Sadwrn”; break;
case “Sunday”: $day = “Dydd Sul”; break;
default: $day = “Onbekend”; break;
}

switch($month)
{
case “January”: $month = “Ionawr”; break;
case “February”: $month = “Chwefror”; break;
case “March”: $month = “Mawrth”; break;
case “April”: $month = “Ebrill”; break;
case “May”: $month = “Mai”; break;
case “June”: $month = “Mehefin”; break;
case “July”: $month = “Gorffennaf”; break;
case “August”: $month = “Awst”; break;
case “September”: $month = “Medi”; break;
case “October”: $month = “Hydref”; break;
case “November”: $month = “Tachwedd”; break;
case “December”: $month = “Rhagfyr”; break;
default: $month = “Onbekend”; break;
}

echo $day . ” ” . $daynum . ” ” . $month . ” ” . $year;
?>
</div>

</div>
</div>[/FONT]

However, there are two problems.

The first is the month name. Joomla is not recognising the new names, and is putting in the default name (Onbekend) instead of the Welsh month name. Day names work fine.

The other is to do with the appearance. By changing the name, the date no longer appears in the Teline format – it comes out as plain text (see attached screenshot).

How do I resolve these two problems?

Hi dyfrigj !
Please check time on my server . i think time in your server is wrong.

The time and date works fine until I change the language options, so how can it be a problem with the server time? I would appreciate more help with this problem. My site is now live (but under construction). You can see it at

Please help me out
