CMS Made Simple Forums

I am using 1.1.2 version.
Firefox 2.0.0.6
Explorer 6

I had a problem with the months translation of News, and could never solve. When I change the Default language for the frontend to Brasilian Portuguese, I have strange characters in months name, instead of accents.
I tryed to change the files action.editarticle.php and action.addarticle.php, using something like the PHP function utf8_encode(), without success. The problem is that the months are not in UTF8 encoding, but in ISO-8859-1 or something like that, but the admin is in UTF8.
The problem is worse in explorer, as you can see in this image:



Users cant change the months properly.

And this is the way I see in Firefox:



I always have this problem, since I began to use CMSMS, version 0.9, I think.

Any idea would be great.

Thanks

cyberman,
one of my sites didn't accept that solution. (another server)
when I applied the "$config['locale'] =" solution, the months names returned to English.
any other idea?
thanks again.

Hello,

ask your hosting provider to install the wanted locales on his systems ?

(sorry, this is not a standalone technical solution)

locale string is server-dependant.
On Windows see here
On Linux run this command (for languages installed): locale -a
