News module news month langauge is not converting to french

[vishal2209]

Hi
During installation i have selected the langauge as English.

Now all is ok in News Module except that Month is being shown in english instead of in French.

For example
01 January 2010
is shown

and i want to show
01 Janvier 2010

i tried many things even setting the locale as
$config['locale'] = 'fr_FR'; in config.php but it does not work...
also i have changed the global settings to language as french...still having an issue...

please help

If the server is not configured with the french language available than setting the locale to french will have no effect.

Then how could i make it work now...
my website is 100% ready for deployment now..
so redoing all would not be good soln for me...

you need to talk to your host, or if you're self-hosting, hopefully you understand server configuration

i tried making changes in config and include file of made simple
but still no success
i set the locale to french
but still having the issue

As calguy indicated above, the web server itself needs to be configured to make the French language available.  You can adjust config.php and other CMSMS files all day long, but if the server isn't configured correctly, you're not going to get French output.

You need to talk to your web host about this issue.

i have not yet deployed it..
currently i am running this application on my local vista machine with wamp installed in it..
so technically my machine is acting as a server...
so may be you can guide me where and what changes i should make on my machine to achive the req result

I'm not familiar with WAMP, so I can't help.  Perhaps someone else here can, although this is not a CMSMS issue.  A WAMP forum or Google search would probably be a better bet.
