I'm using moodle in Japanese. So when I see this calender the date format is "day month year". You know that we are usually using date format "year month day" in Japan. Could you modify this format according to language setting.

I have made a change to the code to be more correct and also respect the language setting. Please try and see if this is what you need.

Re: date format
Thank. I updated the file ( calender/lib.php 1.14 ). Then I confirmed that the date format is changed in detail event string according to `strftimedateshort'.
But there are some wrong formats.
- month view : title format is wrong order "month year" -> "year year-unit month".
- event detail: time format is wrong order "week short-date" -> "short-date week".
- day view: title format is wrong order "week, day month year" -> "year year-unit month day day-unit , week"(strftimedaydate)
- recent event block: date format is wrong order "week short-date" -> "short-date week".
- moodle top layer bar(?) : "Site->Coursename->calender -> day month year" -> "Site->Coursename->calender -> year year-unit month day day-unit"
Maybe, you can use strftime* , or calender original language file.
Sorry, my poor English.
Re: date format
Hi,
I have fixed points 1, 3, and 5 in CVS, but I had to add a new time format string in the language files. This means that while the code is correct now, until the translations are updated you will only be able to see the English month/year format.
Points 2 and 4 are not the calendar's fault; in fact, the time format for them is read from the language file. So if it isn't correct for Japanese, you should contact the translator or open an issue in the bug tracker. I don't know any Japanese.

Re: date format
Thank you Jon. I updated CVS.
However I'm sorry I can't explain well in English, please confirm below screenshot. Red oval is right but blue oval is wrong.
1: month view title is OK. I thought this title is `strftimemonthyear' and I modifyed language setting using %Y and %m.
But title in another small month view are shown with wrong order.
And left month link and right month link are shown with same wrong format 'month year'.
Should I set language for these too? and wehre is it.
3,5: In day view , directory of view contains strange week.
And title of day-view has English week.
2,4: OK. I must confirm about this with Japanese translator. But I thought this recent event format 'week shortday' is set in calender.
New problem: day format of event popup has no day-unit in Japanese.
If you can explain langage setting variables about each date string, I can confirm these local langage settings.
Thank.
Re: date format
Dear Taka Kago,
The dates in my main course page are also back to front looking like
this "1 5月" (ichi 5gatsu)
Has this been fixed in the CVS? Do you know which files I need to change?
Tim
Re: date format
This are not related with calender directly.
My main course page are looking like this:
04/13 - 04/19
Maybe this is used 'strftimedateshort' in moodle.php. And in my file it is %m/%d. Is this correct ? I don't have selfconfidence.
Re: date format
Thank you very much for the detailed feedback you provide. I will do my best to fix these issues so that the calendar displays as it should in all languages. I 'll post on this thread again with the results when these are fixed, probably in a couple of days.

Re: date format
OK, I checked in a new round of fixes in the code. Please have a look at your "wrong" displays again and tell me if everything is going fine now.
The strings 'strftimedayshort' and 'strftimemonthyear' are new, the japanese translation is not updated with them yet, and only some parts of the calendar use them. They are the strings you need to change, and you can experiment freely with them, nothing bad will happen. You can remove them from lang/ja/moodle.php anyway if you don't like what you did.

Re: date format
Great! I could confirm your all good jobs. Thank you Jon.
All of date format is fine, no problem.
I will discuss about lang/ja/moodle.php translation with Japanese.
So if we find new problem I will post again.
Turkish date format..
hi, I am from Turkey, I have problem with calender like Timothy Takemoto. I cant change mount from "January" to "Ocak" What can I do?
Re: Turkish date format..
Hi Sibel,
You need to change the locale setting from your Moodle variables page. I don't know the correct setting for Turkish, and it probably depends on what your server OS is. If you click on the word "locale" in this answer, you will see a short explanation with links to pages that will help you find the correct setting.

Re: Turkish date format..
thanks a lots.. My problem is solved. But I have another question? How to send to file to cvs. I have changed turkish lang file which name is tr.zip, but how to uploaded??
Re: Turkish date format..
You need to be a developer to have write access to CVS. In this case, you can open a new issue at the bugtracker, attach your file and explain what it does and how it is changed. It will then be reviewed and possibly added to CVS.

Re: Turkish date format..
I meant you need to be a Moodle developer, that is one of the people who regularly contribute to the project and take care of it day by day.
The bug tracker can be found at http://moodle.org/bugs/ and you can use the "Add new issue" option to, well, open a new issue. When you do so, try to be precise in the short and long descriptions etc., so that people can easily understand what your contribution is. You can attach files (your contribution) to the issue so they are always there for everyone who wants to take a look.
If you are interested in regularly maintaining the Turkish language (which I believe has not been updated for quite some time now) as a translator, then you should do any or all of the following:
Happy Moodling!
