    Problem with date format

    Hello,

    I've got two problems with the dates in my forum.
    My forum is in dutch, only the dates are in English.
    For example 25 January 2009 and not 25 januari (dutch for january) 2009

    Can I change this?

    Second problem. I want the date of the posts display in the format 10-10-2008 or 25 jan 2009.

    I know that I can change this in the date and time options. For example d-m-y but nothing changes in my forum. It still in the format 25 january 2009.

    Are there solutions?
    Thanks.
    Ief, Belgium

    You need to set a locale for your language:

    Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> [Edit Settings] -> Locale

    The description of that setting tells you exactly what you need to do.

    There are also date formats in the language settings which override the default date formats.

        I have the same problem. I use UTF-8 in forums, but i can neither set tr_TR nor tr_TR.UTF-8.
        I get:
        "The locale 'tr_TR.UTF-8' could not be located on this server."
        I have Ubuntu Server 8.04 and I can see both in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED

          Allright I found it.
          You have to tell ubuntu to use that locale. Its not enough to see it in SUPORTED.
          Here is the code:
          Code:
           locale-gen tr_TR.UTF-8
          use locale as exactly from /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
          Then run dpkg-reconfigure locales.
          Thats done. Then fill in the locales in vBulletin
