Hi,

I was wondering how to change the description the months, days, etc. can be changed within ASP/VBScript.

Currently the date (monthname/dayname) are specified in English, but I want to let them occur in Dutch.

When I use the following string:

<%

Response.Write MonthName(Month(Now))

%>

The output is:

June

But now I want it to be:

Juni

How can I change this? Does anyone know?

Thx in advance,

EQ

I have been looking into the code more, and I found that it is changed somewhere in config.asp

If I make a asp page, and do NOT include config.asp, it works fine. The code snippet: <% Response.Write Monthname(Month(Now)) %> responses the monthname in the language of the operating system. So somewhere in config this is overruled.

Does anyone know?

Someone had done this before. You would get the month name in english, and then translate it to your language.
Dim strMonthname
select case Monthname(Month(Now))
  case "January"
    strMonthname = "Janu"
  case "February"
    strMonthname = "Febu"
...
...
  case "June"
    strMonthname = "Juni"
...
Then you would do "Response.Write strMonthname" on your pages.

That's just an example. But you get the general idea. You could probably place it in your config file, if you know what you're doing.

Yep, know what I am doing, and this works fine, but the thing remains that it is changed (overruled) by snitz config first... I was wondering where that was done.

Thanks anyway, I'm happy...

Sorry to bother with this problem again, but:

The Events MOD uses monthnames also; that means that the months are viewed in English again... I would like to change it at the bottom of the problem: config.asp

Isn't there anyone who knows what overrules the system language in config.asp concerning monthnames?

Thx sincerely,

EQ
