Hi Guys
I also had problems with the German Output of month names. So I test it on my server with a demo script. What ever I tried the output of date() was english. The solution was handover the timestamp and format it in the template with the strftime() function and it worked. The PHP-Manual for date() say this:
To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date().
So for me that solves the problem.
