You properly need to change setup in the language files and in the "create" and "edit" account files.

Could you explain, what it should look like, and what Operations System U are using?

Did you write a Turkish translation?

Then look at file languages/turkish.php

At the top you will find lines looking like this:

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()

define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

Change to whatever format you want. Especially pay attention to the "locale" setting. Ask your ISP what is available.

i translated a turkish language file

and i changed this code like this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'tr.iso-8859-9');

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 . ' %H:%M:%S');

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but i could not change english day and month name.

for example friday,january ....

what can i change this day,month...

:oha: Oh, I know that problem and a way to solve it is this:

in your language file (e.g. turkish.php AND all the others) at the top set this:

//----------------Start of local time/date format-------------------------------

// look in your $PATH_LOCALE/locale directory for available locales..

// on RedHat try 'en_US'

// on FreeBSD try 'en_US.ISO_8859-1'

// on Windows try 'en', or 'English'

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'da_DK.ISO_8859-1'); //This have to be changed for your locale settings. Ask your hostmaster!!

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 . ' %H:%M:%S');

////

// Return date in raw format

// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy

// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY

function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {

if ($reverse) {

return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);

} else {

return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);

}

//----------------End of local time/date format----------------------

in same file change these defines to something like:

// Global entries for the <html> tag

define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="LTR" lang="da"');

// charset for web pages and emails

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

// text for date of birth example

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', ' (eg. 21/05/1965)');

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', ' (eg. 21/05/1965) needed');

define('JS_DOB', '* The 'Date of Birth' entry must be in the format: xx/xx/xxxx (day/month/year).n');

In the file /catatlog/create_account_process.php AND /catalog/account_edit_process.php change the Day of Birth (DOB) format to this:

//-------------Start of DOB format--------------------------------------

if (ACCOUNT_DOB == 'true') {

if (checkdate(substr(tep_date_raw($dob), 4, 2), substr(tep_date_raw($dob), 6, 2), substr(tep_date_raw($dob), 0, 4))) {

$entry_date_of_birth_error = false;

} else {

$error = true;

$entry_date_of_birth_error = true;

}

//-----------------End of DOb format---------------------------------

This should give you the date of birth format like 21/02/1965 and a time like 21:53 writing long weekday in your language. After this you have to make the same settings in the admin parts also. They are equal apart from this in the top of the languagefile:

define('PHP_DATE_TIME_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y H:i:s'); // this is used for date()

It works on my server, but please let me know if you still have troubles with this.

good luck :)

The only line you should change is this:

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'da_DK.ISO_8859-1'); //This have to be changed for your locale settings.

Find out what operating system your server are using, and change it according to this.
