Everyone can take a look at my version with the "View in..." pop menu...

http://LaShampoo.net/iCal

Basically, the prefered language is the default language set by the=20
webmaster (here it's french). Then if the visitor (you) change the=20
prefered language, the language is set in the visitor cookies. The=20
visitor can then browse the entire calendar with his prefered language.=20=

The $week_start_day is set in the language file (I try to set the=20
proper $week_start_day in every language file).

How do you set the "Start week day" cookie ? Is there a pop menu "Start=20=

Day Week" ? We still have to respond to that question.

Yes. That would be more acceptable. But best is to add an=20
$prefered_start_day in the config file:

=AB $prefered_start_day =3D '' // If the start week day in your language=20=

file don't fit your need, please do change this variable to the desired=20=

day otherwise leave blank. =BB

Explanations: if the visitor use the same language as the webmaster and=20=

the webmaster didn't like the default settings set in the language=20
file, then $prefered_start_day is not blank and phpical will use the=20
$prefered_start_day   Otherwise, if the visitor choose another=20
language, phpical will use $week_start_day set in the language file and=20=

not the $prefered_start_day because is no more the same language. This=20=

is more convenient for FOREIGN people because the $start_week_day is no=20=

more fixed by the webmaster for HIS own language.

Other option (best): to tell webmasters to change the $week_start_day=20
in THEIR language file to their needs. This way, that doesn't affect=20
other languages and they can change the 24/12 format too (some english=20=

country may use 24h format).

This way, visitors with other languages can still benefit the proper=20
settings of the desired language file whatever if the french language=20
file is used in a "Sunday" country for example.

And YES, to respond to Matt Jarjoura, even American country will have=20
the desired settings whatever they're Sunday or Monday and 12h or 24h=20
country...
