[resolved][bug] Long date is not translated in English with Smarty/PS 1.6.0.11

[monpoulet]

Hi Guys,

 

I am developing a module and I have the texts of my template translated, excluding the long date (eg. lundi 02 mars) !

I have discover that my date variable is translated in French and in Spanish, but not in English.

Try to add this to a template:

{$smarty.now|date_format:'%A %d %B'}

When you switch From French to English, the French long date is appearing ! And when you switch to Spanish, the long date is corrected translated in Spanish !

I have tried to add the "setlocale" in my module, but nothing happen, except that "en_US" is doing a 500 error....

Here is how I have forced the setlocale in my module:

$lang = $this->context->cookie->id_lang;
if($lang == 1)
   setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr_FR.UTF-8', 'fr_FR.utf8');
elseif($lang == 2)
   setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_EN.UTF-8', 'en_EN.utf8');
elseif($lang == 3)
   setlocale(LC_TIME, 'es_ES.UTF-8', 'es_ES.utf8');

The cookie value is ok, I checked. Any idea to correct this ?

 

 

PS 1.6.0.1 with the French, English and Spanish installed.

Try en_GB.UTF-8 or en_US.UTF-8

Hi M4,
 
Thank you for replying, but I have also a 500 error.
Here are the lines:

Invalid date
at line 689 in file classes/Tools.php

and here is the code:

688. 		if (!Validate::isDate($date) || !Validate::isBool($full))
689. 			throw new PrestaShopException('Invalid date');

I think it's a bug in the core of Prestashop as it's working in Spain and in French. Or should the date espacially formatted from a time stamp for US ?
 
Best regards,
 
Marc

Just a precision:

I have tested on the server, but "outside" Prestashop, it's working.

Have a try:

call this: strftime("%A %d %B", '1425147349') in php

It should show:

• in french: Samedi 28 février
• in spanish: Sábado 28 febrero
• in english: Saturday 28 February

 

In english it gives me a 500 error ? A new bug of PS 1.0.6.11 ? May a Super-Extra-Admin have a look ?

Up ?

Hi,

 

Sorry I do not undertand your point.

 

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/1.6/config/smarty.config.inc.php#L69

 

I believe |date_format is a smarty function, not specifically a call to Tools ?

 

What is the 500 error saying ? I believe your server may not have the en/us locale ?

Hi Gregory,

 

The server has the local en/es, because it's works outside Prestashop, on the same server. If you read this topic, you will see what the server says...

Hi,

 

Well sorry I read your point, but I do not understand it.

 

again it is a smarty function, I can not see why you link it to the Tools class. We do setlocale so maybe this is in cause. You need to overwrite it probably in a smarty modifier.

Hello @monpouletHow are you doing?
I know this is a super old topic, but I am having exactly the same problem as you are currently having with date translations and maybe by some miracle you will see this message in time.
Apparently smarty is not able to translate the month of December for me and therefore does not show the date. This is the format I am using "%e %b %Y" when it is in French it does not show, but in English it shows the date correctly. I tried changing the format to %e %Y and in both languages it shows the date correctly, so the problem comes with the translation of December to French.
He also has problems with these months Février and Août, they all have an accent including Décembre

In English


But in French
