Hello, I would like to ask you how to change the language on the date, now in English, in my Spanish page. I would like all dates, the top wellcome date, and the article dates to show in Spanish and I do not know how to change that. Thank you

You have to set the correct locale in config.php. For Spanish, try
$_CONF['locale'] = 'es_ES';
(assuming your site is running on a Unix-like system)
bye, Dirk

I actually had $_CONF['language'] = 'spanish';
$_CONF['locale'] = 'es-ES'; and still shows in English rather than Spanish

Try 'es_ES' (with an underscore).
It's also possible that your hosting service does not support Spanish (especially if it's cheap / free hosting or located in another country).
Btw, I just wrote an FAQ entry explaining the language and locale settings.
bye, Dirk

Looked at lots angles on this, my Unix server does allow Spanish and everything seams to be in order, yet my date is in English. I looked around the web at other Geeklog sites in Spanish, and everyone I saw has the dates in Englist. I will continue looking for a solution, once I find it I let you know.

Try this little script: PHP Formatted Code <?php
echo "<p>Today is " . strftime ("%A");
$result = setlocale (LC_ALL, 'es_ES');
if ($result === false) {
echo "<p>An error occured when switching the locale.";
} else {
echo "<p>Switched to locale " . $result;
echo "<p>Today is " . strftime ("%A");
}
?>
If it produces an error message, try replacing "LC_ALL" with "LC_TIME" and see if that makes a difference. bye, Dirk

It gives me Today is Saturday
Switched to locale es_ES
Today is sábado no error message. My config.php is $_CONF['language'] = 'spanish';
$_CONF['locale'] = 'es-ES';
$_CONF['date'] = '%A, %B %d %Y @ %I:%M %p %Z';
$_CONF['daytime'] = '%m/%d %I:%M%p';
$_CONF['shortdate'] = '%x';
$_CONF['dateonly'] = '%d-%b';
$_CONF['timeonly'] = '%I:%M %p %Z';
$_CONF['default_charset'] = 'es-ES.iso-8859-1';
$_CONF['rdf_language'] = 'es-ES'; // may have to be different than the locale What am I doing wrong Dirk?

Quote by Cohin: $_CONF['locale'] = 'es-ES'; As I said above, try 'es_ES' with an underscore - you have a dash (minus) there ... bye, Dirk
