Localization problem - month names

[fricy]

Hello everyone!

So, I've been onto translating the language packs to Hungarian, and what I've been unable to translate is the months names.
I localized the strings for it, but no matter what I do, it won't take effect. Basicly I have problem with the "New products" and the "Monthy specials" headline on the very first page. It will display the headline in hungarian, but the month will be in english, no matter what I do.
I looked into the source, and it gets the month name by the variable "%B". I tried setting it to "%m", (etc. :) after which, of course, it showed me "06" instead of "June". Where does it read "%B" from???
The nicest thing is, that I disabled the english language pack, cleared all caches, searched all of the source for month names, but to no success. It stills reads the English month names from somewhere. I'm out of ideas. Anyone?

Thanks for the link. So it is basicaly a php server setting.
It seems that the setlocale parameter wasn't set properly, but after setting it according to the string in the MSDN help, it still gets back the default en_US month names.
I use WinXP with EasyPHP for testing, can somebody give another clue as to what needs to be done? I could only find french support forums are on the net...

I've run into the same problem recently...
So, You may fix it as follows:

$month_number=date('m');
switch($month_number)
{
case '01': $temp='January in Hungarian';break;
case '02': $temp='February in Hungarian';break;
...
...
case '12': $temp='December in Hungarian';break;
}

define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For '. $temp);

It should be done in /includes/languages/your_templates/hungarian.php

It works for me (I need Bulgarian on my site).
Hope that helps.

Actually this shows the month on user's computer (it can be set wrong) so try this: in /includes/languages/<defaut language>.php
change the original setlocale with this

@setlocale(LC_ALL, 'bg_BG.cp1251','Bulgarian');

(this example is in Bulgarian I don't know the Hungarian charsets)
