Where to set language with :date output filter?

I want to publish a Dutch date on a page, based on the

[[*publishedon]]

field.

This is what I use:

[[*publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d-%b-%Y`]]

In this case, all I see is "04-May-2011", while I would like to see "04-Mei-2011". How can I accomplish this? Is there a neat way to modify "set_locale" or lexicon settings?

Found a solution. I used a plugin with the following code:

<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');

However, I’m not really satisified with this solution. This should be a part of the "Lexicon and Language area" in System Settings.

-- edit --

Or better yet: add an output filter to Revolution. Something like :locale=`nl_NL`. That would solve a lot of things.

This is a one year old topic.
Is there any nicer solution today ?

Interested in this too. Ive a multilingual site and the dates on each news article are in the wrong format.

you can write a snippet :

<?php

 //   Snippet : DATEFR 
 //   Usage: [[+tv.myDate:DATEFR]] 
 //

 setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR.UTF-8');
 $output = strftime('%e %B %Y',strtotime($input));
 return $output;

Hi,

In version 2.2.6 and may be some older version (never checked), there is a locale option in core parameters / lexicon and language section of the system configuration.
I have no idea of what should be put in but the comment says : define the locale of the system .... refer to php documentation, with no exemple.

This could be the right way to do it ?

Modx team, can you confirm ?

Cheers

Not MODx team, but I can confirm it =)...just put nl_NL or de_DE or whatever inside that system setting and it works for me...

Thanks for the tips on the right way for configuration !
It works with fr_FR BUT even if the month are now in french language, the accentuated letters like é in the modx messages are displayed as question marks as in

- 26 f�vr. 2013

where the rest of the texts in the [[*content]] is displayed properly as here :

I am getting this out of an Articles implementation.

Definitely looks like a content encoding problem (ie. not UTF-8)... what do you mean by "MODx messages", where are they shown, frontend or backend?

Sorry must explain better :

My content utf 8 is looking good.
The text messages from the lexicon are printing correctly the accentuated letters (either in the manager or in article snippet).
The messages sent back from articles snippets (coming certainly out of core modx parameters) like the dates are printing wrongly. In fact, the dates are using the strtotime filter.... that could be the problem source.
