Hi,
I have a multi-language site.
I use locales in Chronoforms.
Everything works OK.

I would like to translate date picker strings into multiple languages similarly to my form strings.

Is it possible?

Hello ferino,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:

P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

I try this:

but not worked for me...

Hi ferino,

This is possible but it's not straight-forward. I think it can be done with JavaScript. I will experiment and report what I find here.

Hi Bob,
I think I figured it out:
I used variables:
data-shortdays=["_NED_", "_PON_", "_UTO_", "_STR_", "_STV_", "_PIA_", "_SOB_"]
And these variables I defined in the locales...

It seems that it works 😀

Hi ferino,

Well done - you are ahead of me :-)

Hi Ferino,

could you be more specific about locales? I did try it but take no effect.

Hi Homeopat,

I guess that the Locale entries will look like this

_NED_=Sun
_PON_=Mon
_UTO_=Tue
_STR_=Wed
_STV_=Thu
_PIA_=Fri
_SOB_=Sat

(I may have the days in the wrong order). Then repeat for each Locale you are using.

still not working.
I set
locale: data-shortdays
language: en-gb
strict match: no
strings: _SU_=Sun
_Mo_=Mon
_TU_=Tue
_WE_=Wed
_TH_=Thu
_FR_=Fri
_SA_=Sat

what I did wrong?

Hi homeopat
locale entries:

_NED_=Sun
_PON_=Mon
_UTO_=Tue
_STR_=Wed
_STV_=Thu
_PIA_=Fri
_SOB_=Sat

and Extra params in Element settings:

data-shortdays=["_NED_", "_PON_", "_UTO_", "_STR_", "_STV_", "_PIA_", "_SOB_"]
data-shortdays_indexes=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0]

thank you, now I understand and it works🙂
