How can I fix the date in Dutch, for example Donderdag 17 Augustus 2000 instead of Thursday 17 August 2000. I hope someone can solve this problem.

I don't know any Dutch. However, here's an external method that will convert the months and days of the week in a string from English to German. There are probably better names for the variables and such, so don't take this as as example of clear maintainable programming :) It ought be be pretty efficient. Assuming you call the external method D_date, use something like this: <dtml-var "D_date('October February July, Tuesday, 23 March 2000')"> ---- import re # you can remove lines where the words are the same in both languages replacements={ 'Monday':'Montag', 'Tuesday':'Dienstag', 'Wednesday':'Mittwoch', 'Thursday':'Donnerstag', 'Friday':'Freitag', 'Saturday':'Samstag', 'Sunday':'Sonntag', 'January':'Januar', 'February':'Februar', 'March':'März', 'April':'April', 'May':'Mai', 'June':'Juni', 'July':'Juli', 'August':'Augustus', 'September':'September', 'October':'Oktober', 'November':'November', 'December':'Dezember' } class re_stored: def __init__(self, e, d): self.d = d self.regex=re.compile(e) def r(self, s): return self.regex.sub(self.d, s) replace_regexes=[] for e,d in replacements.items(): replace_regexes.append(re_stored(e,d)) def D_date(datestring): return reduce(lambda x,y: y.r(x), replace_regexes, datestring) ---- -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
