quick question about day localization in French

[clairepouralanon-cloud]

Hello

I just wanted to start by saying what an absolutely wonderful job you've done with the 12 Step Meeting List plugin. It's genuinely brilliant the import system, the map view, the filtering... everything works beautifully. I've been setting it up for Al-Anon Francophone Belgique as a test on https://madamecocker2.be/meetings and it's been a game changer for our community.

I do have one question I was hoping you could help me with: is there a way to display the days of the week in French?

I noticed that the CSV import requires days in English (Monday, Tuesday, etc.), which is completely fine for the import process. But our website is entirely in French, and our members would love to see "Lundi", "Mardi", "Mercredi" etc. instead of the English day names on the meeting listings.

Is this something that can be configured, perhaps through a language/locale setting, a translation file, or a custom filter? I'd love to know the recommended way to handle this.

Thank you so much for building such a fantastic tool, and for any help you can offer!

Warm regards,
Claire

Hi Claire, thanks so much!

Because you're using the TSML UI appearance, the way that works is it uses the user's language. So if my browser is set to French, then the user interface will show up in French, like this:

If you wanted to force everyone to see French, then currently the way to do that is to create a new page (perhaps /reunions) and then use the shortcode [tsml_ui language="fr"].

oh wait a second, the days in the dropdown are translated, but not the days in the table… let me check on that!
