How To Translate date in other language

[joie 4]

Hi all, does anyone familiar with php knows how to convert date to chinese . My wordpress is in locale english. It is for chinese newspaper website so Instead of having Wednesday, 17 August 2011 The date should be ????????‰, 2011 ??? 8 ??€ 17 ?—? (this read Third Day of the Week, year 2011, month 8, day 17) I tried <?php echo setlocale(LC_TIME, 'zh_CN.gb3212'); echo strftime('%A, %Y %m %d'); ?> It doesnot work, and i have read the setlocale and strftime from the codex. Does anyone has any idea? thank you, regards, joie

Joie, have you tried installing and using Transposh? It's a plugin, but it gives great flexibility to set the default language of the site.

Yes, Just dowloaded and tried that, It broke the theme. php may be easier if i know how set the locale properly.

Installing the wordpress chinese version make the post date automatically translated into chinese.
