I search for "strftime" and I always find a lot of manual pages about it, then it's a matter of having some logical thinking to know which is the format of your language. In my language it is: day of month of year %e de %B de %Y https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php O mér., 10 de mar. de 2021 ás 09:35, Sveinn í Felli (<sv...@fe...>) escribiu: > For translators it may be nice to be pointed towards some of the > websites instructing how to build strftime-expressions, example: > <https://www.foragoodstrftime.com/>. > > Quite often the translation-comment is something like: > #.
