In my web site template i have inserted line {current_date format="%A, %b %d d."}
My site global seetings is Lithuanian language. My date shows in Lithuanian language. I would like to correct a little bit Lithuanian words in this data but i don't know where is the file. I would like to change all seven days names and months.
Please help me.

The formatted date is generated by PHP (see the help for the current_date tag):
http://www.php.net/strftime

You'd have to set the proper locale and I think PHP must be compiled with support for your locale to support localized date strings.

Thanks for your answer.
But i think it must be way to change this date.

Maybe exist small script and i need only insert php code to my web site and then i will see correct date.

Well thats what dee said. You need to set up right locale (with a small php oneliner)

And I think there is a locale setting in config.php...

Of course the server needs to support that locale...

If that doesn't work you can try implementing this class (or create something similar):

Hi, I've tried the option that 'tsw" said, and that work fine! ;) thanks

In the config.php file edit this line (change the locale 'es_ES' for yours):

$config['locale'] = 'es_ES';

Thanks.
