I want to change the calender in top of JA-Teline from english to swedish language.

MONDAY = MÅNDAG
THUESDAY = TISDAG
WEDNESDAY = ONSDAG
and so on…

But no mather how i try, i cant get it right. What am i doing wrong?

I have changed the Global Configuration, tab Locale, to “Language: swedish” and “Country locale: se_SE”

I have also changed the index.php file of JA-teline to the following code:

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

Im hosting my site at http://www.one.com and im using php 4.

What am i doing wrong here?

Are you sure your site is served on a Linux box? Local settings are different if it is a Microsoft server. Microsoft does not understand the standard country codes.
I have just managed to change to Norwegian by looking at this thread:

Now if only someone could tell me how to put a line break into the php code in order to get the date and the month on different lines …

Edit: Turns out line break was embarrassingly easy: BR in brackets.

Yes, i asked my webhost (one.com) and they said that the site is on a Linux box, with locale settings loaded. So this is just so confusing…

Is there anyone out there to help me? What am i doing wrong? :confused:

After some searching i have found out that country codes not necesarily are the same as languages codes. So in my case it should probably be some kind of language codes. Now i only have to figure out wich standard to use, if it should be ISO 639-1 or maybe ISO 639-2 or maybe even the SIL international standard… and then i must figure out if the global settings override the template settings, or maybe vice versa…

Pleeeease… help me!? Someone!? What should i put in the locale settings for Sweden?

<blockquote>setlocale(LC_TIME, “swe_SV”)</blockquote>
