Upper and lower case

[fotograhn]

I have some questions related to the time and date formats used in Photo Mechanic.

  - What is the best way to 1. translate the month names into another language, and 2. at the same time choose when I want to print the month name in uppercase or lowercase?

I know that I can convert variables to uppercase or lowercase with :lc, respectively :UC, but how do I make it also work after translation to a different languages, for example: from the English word "March" to the Swedish version "mars" (when it comes lowercase)? Or from English "MARCH" to Swedish "MARS" (when it comes to capital letters)?

Do I really have to use two different sets of code Replacements, one for upper case and another for lowercase?

  - Is there any reason why Photo Mechanic not also uses the international language configuration settings in the local computer for time and date, etc? Or have I just overlooked something?

Thanks in advance

P.S. I would like the caption to be something like this (in Swedish, but I think you get the point - highlighted in bold):

Use Code Replacement.

Use :UC and :lc on your month variables and have upper and lower case codes for each month along with their appropriate translations

None of Photo Mechanic is aware of language differences.  It is a single language application at this time.

Thanks for the clarification, Kirk.
That means that I am already doing it the right way, the PM way
