[Stathis]

Hi,

i like to translate the month and the time appear in the single event,

March 23 @ 8:00 am – April 1 @ 5:00 pm

is it possible?

Thanks,
Stathis

Hey Stathis,

Thanks for reaching out to us here!

Date names, like month and day names, should indeed be translatable – in the Events Calendar and all of our official add-ons, we use the date_i18n() function to render dates, which is a default WordPress function that handles translating date names like this.

Are you finding this to not be the case? If so, what is the Language you’ve set for your WordPress installation? If you set your WordPress language settings to a language that has these date values translated, then the dates should automatically be translated into that language.

Let us know if this helps! If not, can you explain what you need help with in more detail? We’ll try our best to give a better response from there 🙂

Cheers,
George

I’m trying to format the same line.

My WordPress dates are correct, but the formatting of the plugin doesn’t adjust.
I’ve been checking out your reference, but tbh, what a hassle!

I really like your plugin, but date formatting really shouldn’t be such a hard time to edit.

Please help us out.

Hey Kevin,

First of all, I’m sorry to hear that checking out our references was a pain for you – what sort of stuff was annoying? We love feedback and genuinely want to make our reference materials easy to use, so if you have complaints and critiques, lay ’em on us! 🙂

As for the date formatting, it isn’t a hard thing to edit – definitely let us know more details about what you’re not able to edit. Are you not able to display month and day names in a foreign language? Or are you just not getting things output in the specific format you want?

Also, have you checked out and explored our Date Display Settings? These are in Events > Settings > Display Settings, as shown in this screenshot → https://cloudup.com/cWxgeyfk4yR

Those are quite flexible and allow for a lot of custom formatting.
