Translation issues

[Marlies]

Hi everyone,

I’m using the [tribe_this_week] shortcode on my home page. It works great There is one translation issue. In the Dutch language we don’t use the ordinal numbers like 1st, 2nd, 3rd and I would like to display them as 1, 2, 3, etc, So without the last two letters of the word. Is there a way to change the date format?
If posted this issue in june and it is not resolved. Do plan to fix this bug in the near future?

Thanks,

Marlies

Good afternoon Marlies and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the ordinal numbers showing up on your calendar when that is not appropriate in Dutch.
I would love to help you with this topic.

This is normally controlled under Events -> Settings -> Display (look for Date format settings)
These are separate from the ones found under Settings > General (in WordPress).

 

But you are right about the week view shortcode.
It looks like the ‘D jS’ is hardcoded inside the week.php file.

This glitch has reached top priority level, so it should normally make it in our next maintenance release.

In the meantime, you could do a template customization of the week view or the week view widget to replace that hardcode with your preferred date format.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

I can help with that if you want.

Thank you for following up on this and hang in there as this glitch gets ironed out.

Have a good week-end,

Geoff B.

Good evening Marlies,

Thank you for your understanding.

Let me know if you need help implementing the workaround.

Other than that, stay tuned, you will be contacted when the fix is released in an update.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
