Internationalization
To add text before the date in a multilingual environment, override the constant keys:
PLG_CONTENT_ARTICLEDETAILS_PREPEND_CREATED(when using the created date)PLG_CONTENT_ARTICLEDETAILS_PREPEND_MODIFIED(when using the modified date)PLG_CONTENT_ARTICLEDETAILS_PREPEND_PUBLISHED(when using the published date)PLG_CONTENT_ARTICLEDETAILS_PREPEND_FINISHED(when using the finished date)
The format can also be different for each language. Override the constant key PLG_CONTENT_ARTICLEDETAILS_FORMAT_DATE and add a specific format as value.
For instance, set the key's value d F, following the syntax documented at http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php (this page can be seen in different languages. Change the en value in the url with your language code).
