Hi tony,

i have modified your skin - a little bit.

The key for translations in your own language is the FormatLocale option for the time-measures.
With FormatLocale=local you get the local translations of the system. But, you can get the language you want by setting it.
If you want german (the austrian variant) you code FormatLocale=de-AT, for british english yo code FormatLocale=en-GB and so on.
The documentation of this option is documented with the time measure: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/measures/time/#FormatLocale

In the skin below i made some changes:
i rearranged the measures together at the beginning and adapted the MeasureNames on the meters to reflect the changed measures.
Please try it and if something is unclear, please ask again.
I want to explain one measure - the one to get the name of the previous month:

Code: Select all

[MeasureMonth_Prev_1]
Measure=Time
Format=%B
Timestamp=([MeasureCurrentDay:Timestamp] - [MeasureCurrentDay:] * 86400)
DynamicVariables=1
FormatLocale=local

The line Timestamp=([MeasureCurrentDay:Timestamp] - [MeasureCurrentDay:] * 86400) subtracts the number of days of the current date - so i get the last day in the previous month. With the Format-option %B i get the name of this previous month - voila!

Code: Select all

Thank you for your responsiveness! Everything is now at the top of the top.
I understand better now... It is true that we must still be a bit grounded in this. In the old .ini file, I tried to put a bit everywhere below the "[Measure]" this: TimeStampLocale = FRA but unfortunately it did not work.

I hope to have your help again in the future...for other posts that I will do.

Thanks again for the help

You're welcome - Je vous en prie!

Here (second table) you can find a list of language codes, however unfortunately as far as I can tell, not all of those codes are working in Rainmeter.

Can you give an example of one that doesn't work with Rainmeter?

I don't know if this is exactly on topic, but a lot of the locale codes don't work perfectly 100%. What I mean is, assuming Windows locales are somewhat accurate, the formatting of dates and times doesn't follow for the separator characters. In other words, some locales use periods on dates (10.19.2020). The day/month names work fine (AFAIK), but the separators are always colons and slashes/dashes (I forget which).

These aren't a big deal, since they can all be fixed with substitutes (assuming you know how to figure out what the substitute should be).

No, I can't. I realized after I posted my previous reply, that I made a mistake. Where not all those language codes did work was the weather.com a while ago, but didn't even check recently.
So, sorry, was my mistake.
