[Phpmyadmin-devel] translating date/time related strings in js/messages.php
Hi, I noticed that date/time related strings, like days of week, name of months, are listed in js/messages.php, using gettext. It seems a bit strange that these should be translated, as these translations are already done and available. (using strftime(), f.e.). Why is it done this way in js/messages.php? -- Kind regards, Dieter Adriaenssens

To avoid problems in case the server has a faulty / not correctly set up locale? -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

We need to get all names and feed it into javascript code. We could do it with some tricks using strftime as well, but I think it's more readable this way. Also I'm afraid of strftime() and setlocale support on various platforms like Windows. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz
