You will have to check with your hosting company to make sure you PHP has you local language installed. You will have to edit the index.php of the template. Go to templates/ja_teline/index.php
Around Line 214 or find

<div class="ja-day">
<?php
echo "<span>".date ('l')."</span>";
echo " <div>".date ('M')." ".date ('d').date ('S')."</div>";
?>
</div>

and replace it with

<div class="ja-day">
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE");
echo "<span>".strftime ('%A')."</span>";
echo " <div>".strftime ('%b')." ".strftime ('%d').strftime (' ')."</div>";
?>
</div>

The setlocale(LC_TIME, ” “)shows what locale you are changing to. If your site is on a windows box you will need to look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_language_strings.asp
to find the correct locale code, in this case you would replace de_DE with germany.

PS. The above code drops the english 2 letter suffix after the date number. so 17th becomes just 17, which makes the month and date appear on the same line. Someone may be able to help you straighten that out.

if you wanted to still keep the 2 letter suffix you can change the last
.strftime (' ').
to
.date ('S').

Oder Du machst es so:

[PHP]<div class=”ja-day”>
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, “de_DE”);
echo “<span>”.strftime (‘%A’).”</span>”;
echo ” <div>”.strftime (‘%d.’).strftime (‘%b’).” “.strftime (‘%Y’).strftime (‘ ‘).”</div>”;
?>
</div>[/PHP]

<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, "zh_HK.UTF-8");
echo "<span>".strftime ('%A')."</span>";
echo " <div>".strftime ('%b')."<br />".strftime ('%e').strftime (' ')."</div>";
?>

For UTF-8 website, add .UTF-8

Hi!
I live in Norway. On my page: http://www.kvinesdalsiden.net
the date is “Monday 23 April” this is wrong because it is Tuesday 24 April in Norway. Has this something to do with me using sitegrund, which is based in the USA. How can I apply a time difference to this date..?

@oddcstrand:

You can set server timezone difference in the global configuration in your backend. I assume this would solve your problem. Lykke til!

Hi Erik
sorry for getting back to the date question again. I checked all posts in this forum, checked everything, but still get a messy date back. Iset code for German language :
<div class=”ja-day”>
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, “de_DE.UTF-8”);
echo “<span>”.strftime (‘%A’).”</span>”;
echo ” <div>”.strftime (‘%b’).” “.strftime (‘%d’).strftime (”).”</div>”;
?>
</div>I
but still get day in English on frontpage, and date without day in content articles, like
Tuesday, . April 2007
I really dont know whats wrong.Do you have a proposal?
Many Thanks
