Date in local language was created by peterspie
Hello, I like your plugin, it works very easy
I have only one question. Is it possible to show the month in my the correct language?
I would like to show it in Dutch.
The site is not ready yet, but you can see one example here:

Hello,
glad you like the plugin!
The date should automatically use the Dutch language as long as the Dutch language is installed in Joomla!.
There is no hard coded date, the plugin uses keys found in the language files:
$month = JText::_(date('F', strtotime($datetype)).'_SHORT');
where $datetype is the article's date.
Make sure your nl-NL.ini file is installed and that keys such as 'MAY_SHORT' are present.
Olivier.

This is very strange. I have installed Joomla 2.5.3 ONLY with the Ddutch language. Maybe I will install (for example German), and then test if this language willl work. I will be back with the results.

Hello Olivier,
I have found the problem. I am using Joomla 2.5.3. The backend language pack was 2.5.3, so OK. But, the frontend language file was 1.5.xx. Very strange. So I have installed the correct version, and the problem is solved.
Thank you very very much, for your quick response.
Regards, Peter
