LocalDate SilverStripe module
=============================

[](#localdate-silverstripe-module)

LocalDate translates formatted date strings if there is a matching language file.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.1 (this module will probably not be updated to SilverStripe 4)

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- Compatible with [Translatable](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-translatable)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Drop the module into your SilverStripe project and run /dev/build
2. Set the correct locale in your project `_config.php` using `i18n::set_locale('xx_XX');`

You may also set the language manually using `LocalDateHelper::setLocale('xx_XX');` at any time.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The module will extend and override SS\_Datetime and Date. Existing dates will be automatically translated as long as a valid language file exists as long as they are of SS\_Datetime or Date type.

The locale for the translated date is based on (in order):

1. Any valid locale set with the `LocalDateHelper::setLocale('xx_XX');`
2. The current locale for `Translatable` if the module is installed
3. The current i18n-setting

If the language file for your locale is missing you can easily create it yourself. Simply use one of the included language files as a template and save it to your `/mysite/lang` folder. Better yet, fork this repo and add it to the lang-folder and send me a pull request. Sending me an email () with the translated file attached will also do the trick.
