show appointments for german dates

[chh]

Hi,

Zimbra recognizes dates in the MM/DD/YY format or things like yesterday or tomorrow and shows appointments on the relevant dates.
As a german user I would like to change that to german words and the DD.MM.YY format.
Where do I have to change things?

thanks

Christian

This is controlled by the locale. You can install the German lang pack to get this change.

Hi Kevin,

I got the german language pack installed, also this is for 3.1.2 and I got 3.1.4.
Can you tell me the file where to look?

Thanks.

It's in the i18n properties files in the zimbra webapp. Do you also have your browser set to the de-de locale?

[chh]

Can you give me an exact file?

I attach the german translation package I use and the I18n files that I found.

My Zimbra User Interface is completely in German, de_DE is set, so from this side all looks fine.

It's not in the lang pack. It is generated by the install/build for all languages Java i18n supports.

Hi Kevin,

that was my guess as well. As trying to attch the file did not work last time here is the contents of the I18nMsg_de_DE.properties file, where in my opinion the changes should be:

 currencyCode = EUR
currencySymbol = EUR
formatNumberCurrency = #,##0.00 \u00a4

And here the I18nMsg_de.properties which might be valid as well.

currencyCode = XXX
currencySymbol = XXX
eraAD = n. Chr.
eraBC = v. Chr.
firstDayOfWeek = 2
formatDateFull = EEEE, d. MMMM yyyy
formatDateLong = d. MMMM yyyy
formatDateMedium = dd.MM.yyyy
formatDateShort = dd.MM.yy
formatNumberCurrency = \u00a4 #,##0.00
formatTimeFull = H.mm' Uhr 'z
formatTimeLong = HH:mm:ss z
formatTimeMedium = HH:mm:ss
formatTimeShort = HH:mm
numberSeparatorDecimal = ,
numberSeparatorGrouping = .
numberSeparatorMoneyDecimal = ,

(timzone, day and month names are stripped)

Judging from the last Date format in the second file it should work, with dates, but does not
And there would be the question where to set the German values for today, tomorrow...
