CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello all

For weekdays and months to be displayed in german language, I have tried this as suggested in the module help:

{CGCalendar display="list" listtemplate="uebersicht" lang="de_DE"}

But it does not help. Its still showing english names.
The general setting for the website also is German already.

What else can/should I do to make this work?

Regards
Thomas

Maybe I did not explain it good enough:

My weekdays are shown in english: Monday, etc...
But they should be in German: Montag, etc...

How can I change that?

Greetings

in your config.php set $config['locale'] = 'de_DE'; or similar.

Thank you. But no, placing $config['locale'] = 'de_DE' in config.php makes no difference.

Who is using a German calendar, and how did you set it right? Should this not already work upon the language setting for CMSMS?

Regards,
Thomas

Maybe this helps you http://www.i-do-this.com/blog/59/Find-l ... your-Setup in finding correct locale.

I am surprised to say (because I strongly believed it would not be a different result from my first try) – it worked!

I created a user defined tag putting in the PHP code system('locale -a');

Letting it run gave out a large list of language-formats, among which I choose de_CH.UTF-8

Then I placed the code into config.php like you said:
$config['locale'] = 'de_CH.UTF-8';

THANK YOU!

It depends on what your host has enabled, setup.
Switching it in backend will give you only de_DE so if it's not supported by server setting it will not work and fall back to default server setting, which in your case was English.

Thank you so much, this UDT was exactly what I needed.
I had the CGCalendar who putted the days in english and the months in german. config was set on de_DE, and I couldn't check what was wrong.
With your UDT I saw, that this server had a locale de_DE.UTF-8 and the problem was solved.
