Cannot translate month names

[starbolt]

Hello,

 

I'm having some trouble to translate the months names on Prestashop 1.4.8. The following code has the months but when i change them to my language, they are not changed in Prestashop. Im not using any cache so I'm pretty sure that it's not working.

 

Any clues? The following code is taken from identity.tpl in my themes folder. Everything is translated, except the month names in the select.

 

  <p class="select">
<label>{l s='Data de Nascimento'}</label>
<select name="days" id="days">
 <option value="">-</option>
 {foreach from=$days item=v}
  <option value="{$v|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if ($sl_day == $v)}selected="selected"{/if}>{$v|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}  </option>
 {/foreach}
</select>
{*
 {l s='Janeiro'}
 {l s='Fevereiro'}
 {l s='Março'}
 {l s='Abril'}
 {l s='Maio'}
 {l s='Junho'}
 {l s='Julho'}
 {l s='Agosto'}
 {l s='Setembro'}
 {l s='Outubro'}
 {l s='Novembro'}
 {l s='Dezembro'}
*}
<select id="months" name="months">
 <option value="">-</option>
 {foreach from=$months key=k item=v}
  <option value="{$k|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if ($sl_month == $k)}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s="$v"} </option>
 {/foreach}
</select>
<select id="years" name="years">
 <option value="">-</option>
 {foreach from=$years item=v}
  <option value="{$v|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if ($sl_year == $v)}selected="selected"{/if}>{$v|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}  </option>
 {/foreach}
</select>
  </p>

that is not a good way to go about it...

it's simple to translate using the back office

• back office-->tools-->translations
  
• select front office translations
  
• select the flag of the languge you want to translate
  
• expand all fields
  
• find the text you want to translate, translate it, scroll to the bottom and click save...
  

You will be updating authentification

 

suerte

Thanks for the quick reply. The month names are correctly translated on the back office. I don't know what is missing

It's already set! I can get the original file with all the months in English and it will not work too.

Anyone?

Anyone knows how to fix this? I am at presta 1.6 and same problem. I've translated in backoffice the months and they always appear in english no matter what.

 

just found this only happens when edditing an old account, when creating a new one, there's no problem.

I had the same problem in PS 1.6, months in english in the create account form and identity sections.

I've fixed it adding the next code before the months foreach in authentication.tpl and identity.tpl:

{l s='January'}
{l s='February'}
{l s='March'}
{l s='April'}
{l s='May'}
{l s='June'}
{l s='July'}
{l s='August'}
{l s='September'}
{l s='October'}
{l s='November'}
{l s='December'}

After that load the forms in the website, and it will generate the translation string, you can go to the admin > translations > front-office translations and the new list of months will be available for translation.

DannetStudio solution works.

Hi, 

 

I have same problem. I've just modified file just like you, but when I save and try to load web page doesn't display anything...

 

I am modifying identity.tpl. Is this the file?

 

Thank you so much!

No soy un experto en esto pero creo que si la página te queda en blanco es porque hay algún código mal abierto o cerrado.

 

Trata de que el primer <div> y el </div> final queden en la misma linea (vertical). Lo mismo con el <select id>.

 

Si no te funciona avisa y lo vemos.

 

Suerte

                            <select id="months" name="months" class="form-control">

                                {foreach from=$months key=k item=v}
                                    <option value="{$k}" {if ($sl_month == $k)}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s=$v} </option>

Thanks a lot !!! After 3 hours searching, it worked for me!!

I already tried to copy the months list in the identity.tpl file but it didn't work. It just needed to be reloaded in the Translation page on the BO and enter again the translation. Thank you soooo much !!!
