[Moodle-lang] Info about new date formatting in Moodle languages

[Martin D. <ma...@do...>]

Hi,

I've just moved all the date formatting strings out to the
language packs, which means you now have control over the
date format shown on course formats, postings, logs etc ...

The new strings all start with "strftime" and are in moodle.php

I've just edited all currrent languages in CVS to add these
new strings, so please do a "cvs update" on your copies, or
download the latest from http://moodle.com/download/lang

All European languages have now been changed to 24 hr time,
because AM and PM were not being displayed correctly on
some machines.

You might want to check these strings to see if there is
a more natural way to format these dates in your language.

Documentation about the different codes is here:

   http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Be careful, because certain codes (eg %e) don't display
at all on some machines (like Windows).

Note that the % characters need to be doubled in the
files.  eg %d is represented using %%d.  If you use the
very latest language editor (admin/lang.php) then you
shouldn't even notice this ... the strings should look
normal and you can edit them normally (the doubling is
done automatically).

Thanks!
Martin
