I have a datepicker datatype which I've formatted in XSLT
to output dates on the website in the format '29 October 2010' for example. However, the
website is exclusively French, so I need the date to be output in
French.
I'm pretty sure it's something to do with setting
globalisation in the web.config file, but I can't find any simple guides
on what to do.
I can't remember which one it is, but its either "culture" or "uiCulture" that sets it. Although, with that said, I'm not sure Umbraco switches the locale based on the associated domain/language ... you might want to check the "Manage Hostnames" for the root node of the website?
Hello sir. I'm not sure how to deal with the hostname stuff as it's only on a temporary URL at the moment, but you've given me all the pointers, so thanks very much. I'm going to set the web.config stuff first then move onto Umbraco hostname settings if no joy.
This is my first multi-language site, and I'm absolutely loving Umbraco for it! Using dictionary items to set document type property names and tab names in different languages is absolute magic.
Well, actually if you select "manage hostnames" in the content tree, and put on a correct language (you "create" languages in the Settings area), it should work. You can always add/change/delete the hostname, just create the right language and select thr proper region/culture.
Localisation of month name
Hi,
I have a datepicker datatype which I've formatted in XSLT to output dates on the website in the format '29 October 2010' for example. However, the website is exclusively French, so I need the date to be output in French.
I'm pretty sure it's something to do with setting globalisation in the web.config file, but I can't find any simple guides on what to do.
Does anyone know how to set this?
Thanks all!
Hey Dan,
Take a look at the <globalization> section of your Web.config:

Good luck!
