Month Names and Weekday Names not translated

[Mister]

Hi,

I have the Events Calendar Pro and WPML installed. My WordPress runs English (US) as default language, and I have activated German as a second language.

While some of the strings translate on the /events page, I miss the translation of week day names and month names on the /events page and in the Events Calendar widget. They only show up in English.

I found on the web and on the forums that Events Calendar uses translation of these strings offered by WordPress core. So, I really wonder why these strings don’t show up. Can you please help me?

Please note that I cannot deactivate my current theme (X theme, it would crash the site as I am using Cornerstone) and also not WPML (as I then cannot switch languages).

Good evening Martin and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

As a first troubleshooting step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Secondly, can you make sure that you have read the following: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/setting-up-the-events-calendar-with-wpml/

Finally, you are right, the translation of date should happen at the WordPress level (in combination with WPML). Could you give the following a read and see if that helps:

1. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/date-formatting-issue/
2. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-translate-the-date-format/

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

I could resolve the issue. It was because the .po file for WordPress in the other language was not properly installed.

Good afternoon Martin,

This is awesome! Kudos on finding the cause of the issue.

For now, I am going to close this thread.

Have a great week!
