[Question] Months names translations

[kszpieg]

Hello @uPagge

Is there any way to translate the names of months? I mean, for example, if I am on the list of all posts in the English version of my site I have correct names. When I go to another language, let's say Polish, I still have in the same place the names of months but still in English.

I assume that additional translation to the i18n file isn't enough (welp, I tried :D )and I have to change something in the code of the theme. Am I right?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello,

This is how I got around this problem:

• I copied the ./themes/uBlogger/layouts/_default/section.html file to ./layouts/_default/section.html
• On line 28, I replaced

<div class="group-title-month">{{- .Key }}</div>

by

<div class="group-title-month">{{- i18n .Key | default .Key }}</div>

It will first check for the translated name of the month, if not found it will show the default one (in English).

• In the i18n folder, I created a file for every language I want the months to be translated in, for example:

./i18n/fr.yaml

# === Dates translation ===
# (hacky solution until Hugo supports dates i18n)

# Months

  other: "Janvier"
