Language in IPTC-Variables

[Sven]

Hi @ all!

I am running 4.6.7 Beta 3. I also had the following "issue" with 4.6.7 on a MAC with OS 10.6.6

During FTP-upload to a specific agency I am applying an addition to the caption.

Code: [Select]

{iptcday0}{iptcmonth0}{iptcyear4} / {iptcyear4} / {category} / {iptcdow} / {suppcat1} / DFB / SpVgg Unterhaching vs {editstatus} / Aktion / {city} / Deutschland / Europa
Here is the output after uploading the image:

Code: [Select]

05022011 / 2011 / SPO / Saturday / Fussball / DFB / SpVgg Unterhaching vs VfR Aalen / Aktion / Unterhaching / Deutschland / Europa
As I am using the OS in German language I "hoped" to see the {iptcdow}-variable in German language (Samstag) and not in the English language (Saturday).
Anything I missed or is this "by design"?
Any plans to add localization in the future?

Sven,

I am running 4.6.7 Beta 3. I also had the following "issue" with 4.6.7 on a MAC with OS 10.6.6

During FTP-upload to a specific agency I am applying an addition to the caption.

Code: [Select]

{iptcday0}{iptcmonth0}{iptcyear4} / {iptcyear4} / {category} / {iptcdow} / {suppcat1} / DFB / SpVgg Unterhaching vs {editstatus} / Aktion / {city} / Deutschland / Europa

It's by design since PM has not been localized yet.

Any plans to add localization in the future?

We've wanted to do that for a long time, but we're going to have to grow the size of the company before we can afford to do it.

In the meantime, you could use Code Replacement to achieve your own limited localization:

Sunday[tab]Sonntag
Monday[tab]Montag
Tuesday[tab]Dienstag
Wednesday[tab]Mittwoch
Thursday[tab]Donnerstag
Friday[tab]Freitag
Saturday[tab]Samstag

Then in your caption put your Code Replacement delimiters around the {iptcdow} variable (by default they're '\'):

\{iptcdow}\

And if you've loaded the above Code Replacement file into PM then you'll get the German translations.

HTH,

It is often the case with PM: solution too simple to think of it.
