This can be tricky. Be sure to read Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! very carefully:

There is a note from 21-Jan-2008 that may help. Use aze instead of cym.

Posting this in the hope it might be useful to others, as I could find very little info anywhere. If you want to use a Welsh locale and have the suitable language support installed, you pass 'cym' (abbreviated form of Cymraeg) to setlocale:

<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'cym');
$welsh= gmstrftime("%A, %B %Y - %H:%M",time());
echo $welsh;
?>

The above certainly applies to Windows systems, but should also apply to Unix if the required support is installed.

Cheers,

Bryn.

Running this script using aze instead of cym produces Cüm? axsami, Avgust 2008 - 11:19. I don't know if that's correct but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

Code:




<?php


setlocale(LC_TIME, 'aze');


$azerbaijan = gmstrftime("%A, %B %Y - %H:%M",time());


echo $azerbaijan;


?>

Thanx Raven
I tried to change mainfile.php

Code:

function formatTimestamp($time) {


    global $datetime, $locale;





    static $localeSet;     // setlocale() can be expensive to call; only need to call it once


    if (!isset($localeSet)) {


        setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale);


        $localeSet = 1;


    }





    if (!is_numeric($time)) {


        preg_match('/([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2})/', $time, $datetime);


        $time = gmmktime($datetime[4],$datetime[5],$datetime[6],$datetime[2],$datetime[3],$datetime[1]);


    }


    $time -= date('Z');


    $datetime = strftime(_DATESTRING, $time);


    $datetime = ucfirst($datetime);


    return $datetime;


}

I replaced setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale); with setlocale(LC_TIME, 'aze');
And also in admin panel a wrote aze. But there was no changes

My response was not the exact answer to your issue. I was directing you to a source for discovering the solution. Running that script I gave you produces a result that you need to confirm is correct. If it is then you know your server is set up for Azerbaijan which is a base/core requirement before the RN solution will even work. Then I was leaving it up to you to use Google to discover the ??_?? code for Azerbaijan Wink

Try az-AZ
