Re: [Phpslash-devel] Locales

[Peter C. <pe...@kr...>]

Thanks Matt.

So (in summary), it should be enough to change $_PSL['locale']['LC_TIME']?

(I've already set up *_CA.LC_TIME.php files).

Anyway, I'll have a play around and give you feedback on how I get on.

Cheers

Peter

PS I like your apology for the hegemony in the code :-)
