Overview
This guide explains how to translate calendar strings in CFv6 by adding data attributes like data-days and data-months in the Extra attributes box. It also covers using the Locales shortcode for multi-language support and mentions advanced customization through code edits based on Semantic UI settings.
In CFv6 there are various settings which can be used for the Calendar element
Localization
You can translate many strings in the calendar, for this you need to place the translated strings in the 'Extra attributes' box in the calendar settings Advanced tab:
data-days:Sx, M, D, M, D, F, S
data-months:Januar, Februar, März, April, Mai, Juni, Juli, August, September, Oktober, November, Dezember
data-monthsShort:Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Okt, Nov, Dez
data-today:Heute
You can also provide multiple languages translations for the strings using the Locales shortcode: {l:JAN} and use JAN=Janvier in the locales section e.g.:
data-months:{l:JAN}, {l:FEB}, {l:MAR}, {l:APR}, {l:MAY}, {l:JUN}, {l:JUL}, {l:AUG}, {l:SEP}, {l:OCT}, {l:NOV}, {l:DEC}
Other settings
User healyhatman has found that you can edit the ChronoForms CFV6 code to enable other settings. For an example see this forum post - the available Semantic UI settings can be found in the Settings section here.
