Translate Widget Mini Calendar Day Name

[sambellerose]

I looked inside the .po files and I didn’t find the place where it was written “MON”, “TUE”, “THU”, etc… for each day of the week of the plugin’s widget feature. I need to translate those in an other language.

Thanks !

Hi sambellerose, as far as I know the days of the week and month names are translated by the WordPress core (The Events Calendar simply uses wp_locale to handle this) … does that help at all?

[sambellerose]

Hi Barry, thanks for your tip ! Any idea where it could be located in the WordPress Core ? I tried to change the file locale.php but it didn’t worked at all.

You’d need to set WordPress up to run with the appropriate language files in place: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

Hopefully that will get you on track here 🙂

[sambellerose]

I’ll take a look thanks a lot !

No problem at all, let us know if you hit any other roadblocks.

Strange ?

in /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/views/widgets/mini-calendar/single-event.php

line 29

class=”list-dayname”>
date(‘D’,$postdate) are short english day name but in grid.php there is a var :
$days_of_week = tribe_events_get_days_of_week(‘short’);
this one is well translated

Hope that can help investigation

Excellent catch Dimitri – you’re absolutely right. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience (it sounds like you hit on a workaround there which may also be useful for others) and we’ll be sure to get this fixed in one of our maintenance releases 🙂

If you add in Line 1 of
widgets\mini-calendar\single-event.php and change date( ‘D’, $postDate ) in Line 31 to strftime(“%a”,$postDate ) it will display the language correctly.

If you add setlocale(LC_TIME, get_locale()); in Line 3 of
widgets\mini-calendar\single-event.php and change date( ‘D’, $postDate ) in Line 31 to strftime(“%a”,$postDate ) it will display the language correctly (Sorry for doublepost).

[Barry]

Great – sounds like everyone is good here and has a workaround they’re happy with … and we should hopefully get things fixed up in a forthcoming maintenance release, too. In light of which I’ll go ahead and close this thread – if there’s anything else please don’t hesitate to create new threads as required.

Thanks!
