Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to change the date format from mm dd yy to dd mm yy, but I haven’t had any luck. Normally, I’d expect this to be handled by PHP settings, but it seems that’s not the case here. I also checked the translations, but that didn’t work either.

Has anyone managed to change the date format successfully? Maybe I’m missing something obvious. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello,

Have you looked in the translations?

Yes i tried but seems thats not applied on all the website

You have to change several translation keys, here is how I did it:

You must put "{0#}" at the very beginning

Have you tried editing your active language to set the locale? by default it would be set to United States/English

These would be installed on your server. Ask your hosting provider if you are unsure how to add new locales.

If you have a VPS you can easily install the FR-fr language with commands, by connecting via SSH.

If you have shared hosting, normally this should already be installed depending on your host

i am on dedicated / vps, any advise how to achieve this ? How to check before ?

I didnt have this issue in v4, i'd french as local !

If you are on Linux, you can check the languages installed on your server by typing this command:

locale -a

My bad :/

locale -a

C.UTF-8

POSIX

en_US

en_US.iso88591

en_US.utf8

You can try to install the FR language with this command:

sudo apt install language-pack-fr -y

Info : If you get a result like "command not found" or the command does not work, it is because it is not compatible with your system and it is probably another command.

Then make sure to activate the French language with:

sudo locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8

sudo update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

Once done, verify the installation with locale -a

Don't hesitate to also look at your panel level, there may be parameters for that.

Thanks a lot, i just indtalled fr :

I tried to edit lang but still see only english us and no way to add Fr :/

Very strange

Try using the same casing the locale command returns. You have upper case UTF where as the OS has lower case

same error :

Can you try this?

source /etc/default/locale

This command allows you to reload the parameters.

With a successful installation, you should see your installed languages in the drop-down menu

Still nothing shwon .. pff

This is strange, contact your host's support, they can probably resolve this
