    Changing language for month names

    Hi, I want to print out the month names in a different language, than the default english. Im printing it out like this:

    @Umbraco.Content(item.Id).CreateDate.ToString("d. MMMM yyyy")

    But it will display it like this:

    1. January 2016

    I have tried doing this in my web.config file:

        <system.web>
       <globalization
         fileEncoding="utf-8"
         requestEncoding="utf-8"
         responseEncoding="utf-8"
         culture="da-DK"
         uiCulture="da-DK"
       />
    </system.web>

    But it does not change the output. Then i have tried doing this: enter image description here

    This works, so it reverts back to danish, but it seems like an odd way to change it. (what if it was a multilingual site?)

    Isn't there/shouldn't there be a way of telling Umbraco which to use as default? Or let it fall back on browser/web server defaults?

    Best regards Daniel

    It might be as simple as this, haven't tried:

    @{
    var umbracoDate = Umbraco.Content(item.Id).CreateDate;
    var formattedDate = umbracoDate.ToString("d. MMMM yyyy", new CultureInfo("da-DK"));
    //you could always get the CultureInfo off CurrentCulture, but this is a nice test
}
@formattedDate

    Hey Daniel

    Have you set a hostname and culture for your website ? :)

    I was only checking up on this problem when i was running it on localhost (en-US OS), but I didn't think of checking our staging webserver, to see if it was present there. (which is set up correctly with hostname and culture)

    So it was indeed not a problem, when its hosted on a proper server, thanks Kasper Holm.

    new CultureInfo("da-DK")

    and

    CultureInfo.CurrentCulture

    Did indeed also do the trick :) Thanks Daniel

    Awesome cummunity again to the rescue :)
