Hello, I think you don't need to translate any language, I had this problem one year ago when I start , and the solution is in the file portuguese.php . in the first part . Look for example the spanish and french. Revise only in this part your file portuguese.php. I am not sure, but tried. <?php /* $Id: espanol.php,v 1.107 2003/07/09 18:13:39 dgw_ Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright © 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ // look in your $PATH_LOCALE/locale directory for available locales // or type locale -a on the server. // Examples: // on RedHat try 'es_ES' // on FreeBSD try 'es_ES.ISO_8859-1' // on Windows try 'sp', or 'Spanish' @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'es_ES.ISO_8859-1'); define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y'); // this is used for strftime() define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime() define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y'); // this is used for date() define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT .

Rui Ganga Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 Hey Your help helped me understand how this works. The date is asked to the server, that answer in some language. I put the changes in espanol.php file and the date shown was in spanish (months and days of week). This is a big thing to me. Thanks for help but i still can't put the portuguese date. I hope someone can tell me what i should write in portugues.php file so the date is fixed in PORTUGUÊS! Regards Quote Rui Ganga
Rui Ganga Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 Hi Now I can understand that tha dat language date is asked to the server. So can't be tranlated in any file. I changed the english to portuguese with no dificulty but I don't know what I need to write in: @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE.ISO_8859-1'); to put the date in Portuguese. I tried almost everything... If somebody have some idea, please post! Thanks Quote Rui Ganga

textheone Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Hi, just solved the problem ... at least for me on a linux server I had the correct LC_TIME set but still had english names for day of week and month The problem: locales where only generated for US Solution: add your locales to /etc/locale.gen and execute locale-gen (this was on debian sarge, as root) hope this helps Quote
d_paulo Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Many thanks from my side too :thumbsup: It worked just fine for Ro language :) Quote
