Does anybody else have the problem that the “localise” checkbox in the RW blog page options has no effect? The dates are always displayed in English. Ist there a solution for this?

I appreciate any help.

I have this. Checkbox has no effect. My OS X system language is Finnish and I have set metatag “language” as “fi” for the blog page (and the whole site). I can’t see I could do more, localization is just not working. Hence selected not to show the day of the week at all, just numbers.

I’m not sure what languages RW supports. Perhaps your particular language is NOT supported, so RW defaults to English?

Thanks for your replies. AFAIK, RW uses the system language for localising dates. My system language is German.

Although my OS is set to Spanish, and localized checkmark is selected, the dates on blog pages are still in English.

Any clues?
