When I try to create an event say for 15 August 2011 in French (15 Août 2011) I get an error saying that the date is invalid. If I switch interface to English, I'm able to create the event as expected. My guess is that the accent on the "û" is the source of the problem. In French, August is the only month that has an accent.

See attachments. BTW, I was able to reproduce this error on 2 different sites using Date 6.x-2.7

Can anyone help?

Update

The current dev version of Date (date-6.x-2.x-dev) generates the same error.
One way to fix this is to change the display format for the CCK date field from "15 août 2001" to "15/08/2011".

Same problem for me.
As you said, it's the character ^ which generate the error

Do you have any problems with "fév" and "déc" dates?

Strangely enough, "fév" and "déc" dates work fine.

  • When I try to create an event for "28 Août 2011" with the calendar popup, I get an error message. Can't do it.
  • When I type "28 Aoû 2011" or "28 Aou 2011" by hand, an event is created but for "28 Décembre 2010". Note the change of month AND year.
