Issue Summary

Hello there,

I was wondering how to translate the terms "Year, Month, Week, Day" in the Calendar view. I cannot find any matching search strings in the Translation Interface.

I came across some strange behaviour as well. I am translating a page into dutch and french. English is the default language.

I have no problem translating the day names from tuesday to friday. Strangely, when I tranlate Monday into Maandag (dutch) / Lundi (french), the first three letters of the Month link above change depending on which language is switched on:

Month (English)
Lunth (French)
Maanth (Dutch)

I checked in the issue queue but didn't find any related problems. Would be nice if somebody could help me out.

Cheers!

I have noticed the same issue, been unable to fix it and thus reverted to 2.0 rc6... sorry I can't be of more help here :(

This is really two issues:
For the first, would this module help?
http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides
http://geeksandgod.com/tutorials/audio/string-overrides-module-drupal

For the second: has the latest module version(s) been evaluated?

I doubt that http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides would help, since "Lunth" is to me a clear sign that something wrong is passed to t() and that module intercepts strings passed through the t() function:

  • "Monday" [en] = "Lundi" [fr]
  • "Mon" [en] = "Lun" [fr]
  • "Month" [en] = "Lunth" [fr], clearly wrong

For the second: has the latest module version(s) been evaluated?

My latest comment confirmed the problem with the latest version 2.2.

Several translation strings:

!day-abbreviation S|M|T|W|T|F|S
!day-name Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday
!datetime Year|Month|Day|Week|Hour|Minute|Second|All Day|All day

you can find similar strings by "Translate interface > Search"...

Sorry, but I don't get it. Is it finally possible to translate the months - days strings of the calendar to other languages? (I am interested in greek). Where are the strings that need to be translated? (in which files?)

Thanks a lot to etcetera9 for his help! The needed strings can be found at Administration -> Translate interface -> Search.
