Dates en locale: my months are displayed in English, should be in French

[Dam74]

Hi,


How (and where) should I deal with Locales so that the dates I display
in my pages have their months written in French ? (or in German for
german users, etc...)

Evenement créé le ${event.dateCreation.format('dd MMMM yyyy - HH:mm')}

Thanks,

Dam74

Hi,

In a multilingual site you should just leave it that way, it will use
the current language. By default it looks at the browser's accept
language.

In a monolingual site you can pass the language as parameter, e.g.
${event.dateCreation.format('dd MMMM yyyy - HH:mm', 'fr')}

OK thanks...
I'm used to work in English, so maybe effectively my browser is set as
English,
so that would explain... I ll try to change my settings to test that.
Thanks a lot.

BTW, what do you think about adding an additionnal TimeZone parameter
to the format operation?

Yes it would be useful.

Thank you. But can you attach it to a bug report? It is easier to track.

Erwan, sorry but the solution you proposed did not work:

"By default it looks at the browser's accept language."

Even if I move my browser's default language to "French" and remove
all the others, the month of the date is still in English.
Another precision is that when I deploy it to Stax servers, the time
is 2h less.

So I guess that my solution might have to do something with my
server...
Is there any config I need to modify in the "application.conf" file?

Thanks for your help

Try to set:

application.lang=fr

Does not work either. So what I've done for the moment is that I've
modified
my date formater in order to display the month in numbers and not its
name...
Thanks
