Variables in other languages
« on: May 26, 2016, 02:47:12 AM »
Hi - working for a Swiss wire service, we write captions in German. Is there a way to have variables translate in languages other than English. I.e. I'd like for {todaymonthname} to render Mai instead of May, Juni instead of June etc.
Thanks for your help
Alessandro

Yes, but you would need to use Code Replacement to accomplish this.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kirk, thank you, of course, it seems obvious, now that you mention it! How did we ever manage to edit before PM????
